Kids who become involved in substance use may also be suffering from symptoms of depression or other serious mental illnesses. It's the philosophy of the adolescent program at MGH Colesville Center that education and communication skills can help a child avoid involvement in the negative spiral of substance abuse, legal issues and school failure. The importance of early intervention and parental involvement is critical. This five-week program is led by professionals in substance abuse and mental health. Both kids and parents will learn facts about drug and alcohol use, coping skills and ways to communicate more effectively with each other.
Payment is due at the time of services.
