It is the most structured and intensive service delivery option in the CSTAR Program and has been designed to simulate the therapeutic intensity of inpatient and residential treatment programs. The purpose of Level I is to interrupt the pattern of substance use and to provide treatment and structure in a substance-free setting.
Adolescents in Level I of the program participate in a 60 day intensive day treatment program which encompasses 50 hours per week of activities, including individual and group therapy, education, family education therapy, and case management. The adolescent is challenged physically, intellectually and emotionally. By meeting the challenges, the adolescents steadily develop their self image and a sense of responsibility. The program utilizes an experiential component where physical activities are expressly designed so that they require teamwork and cooperation to develop problem-solving skills, self-esteem and relationship skills. Temporary residential housing with therapeutic parents is available during Level I if required.
