A long-term residential chemical dependency treatment program for adolescents ages 12 through 16 and their families, Hill House programming balances school, physical exercise, personal time and outings with each resident's individual treatment plan. Education and treatment centered on the disease concept of addiction are crucial components of this program. Our professional staff comprises a multidisciplinary team of therapists, addictions counselors and program aides, along with an education coordinator, full-time nurse, consulting physician, psychiatrist, social worker, cook and a night manager. While our adolescent residential program provides a family environment for our residents, we realize that nothing can replace the real thing. Therefore, the emphasis of the treatment is to return adolescents to their homes as soon as possible.
Family therapy occurs on a regular basis and is geared to each individual family's needs.
Hill House staff develop an aftercare program for each resident to maintain a continuum of care and support the lifelong process of recovery. The Hill House program is available to families regardless of ability to pay. Staff can arrange convenient payment schedules as needed. Primary funding for Hill House is provided by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services.
