Treatment Programs
ASAP offers outpatient services to meet the needs of teens with substance abuse and mental health problems.
ASAP provides specialized treatment for teens. Our treatment programs are built on evidence-based practices that ensure effective care for your child. Adhering to the continuum of care at ASAP maximizes your teen’s likelihood for success in our treatment programs.
ASAP treatment programs include:
- TRIP Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Use Disorders
- Clarity Intensive Outpatient DBT Program for Behavioral Health
- CHOICES Education Program
- Individual Therapy
- Continuing Care
The TRIP, Clarity Intensive, CHOICES, and Continuing Care treatment programs use a rolling entry model, encouraging more experienced group members to provide positive examples of recovery for those just beginning the process. Group models allow teens to provide direct feedback to each other while a trained professional guides group discussions.
All programs emphasize parental involvement, as research indicates the most effective treatment addresses family issues that often accompany these types of problems.
ASAP Treatment Programs
CHOICES Pre-Treatment Education
The CHOICES pre-treatment education program is designed for teens who have infrequently experimented with substances. CHOICES provides accurate information about about the risks associated with substance use and the rewards of a sober lifestyle. Time is spent helping teens make choices that reflect their personal values and goals for the future.
Individual Therapy
At ASAP, individual therapy is typically used as step-down treatment from higher levels of care. Individual sessions help teen’s to manage emotional or behavioral issues that often occur alongside substance use. To benefit from individual therapy, an adolescent needs a willingness to focus on changing people, places, and things that might interfere with sobriety and positive mental health.
TRIP Intensive Outpatient Program
The TRIP Intensive Outpatient Program was developed to meet the needs of the substance using teenager and has been created in accordance with ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) treatment guidelines and evidence-based interventions. Teens spend time in treatment groups working to identify the scope of their use, how it has become problematic, and how to establish a life in recovery.
Clarity Intensive - DBT Program
Clarity Intensive is an evidence-based program designed to help those with serious or disruptive emotional and behavioral disorders. Clients will participate in group skills training to learn behavioral skills that can help them cope with challenges. Skills training for adolescents covers five modules: mindfulness (skills for focus, relaxation), distress tolerance (coping in times of crisis), interpersonal effectiveness (skills for interacting with others), walking the middle path (seeing things in multiple ways), and emotion regulation (skills for managing intense emotions).
