Outpatient Treatment for Adolescents with
Alcohol and Drug Problems

Positive Adjustments® is an outpatient program that is intensive and comprehensive for teenagers with alcohol and drug problems.

Our program philosophy is to have all participants achieve the power to overcome their alcohol or drug problems through our five steps to successful change.

  1. Experiential learning
  2. Internalizing new knowledge
  3. Acquiring personal empowerment skills
  4. Developing an empowerment plan
  5. Activating the plan

As part of our assessment and treatment planning process, all participants receive psychological testing and feedback from a Ph.D. psychologist.

We offer a positive approach to discovery, recovery, serenity and sobriety. Our goal is to assist participants in achieving mental, physical, emotional and psychological balance. Each session is specifically designed to address the issues that affect all teenagers. Some of these issues are:

Grief
Guilt
Family Conflict
Distorted Thinking
Negative Attitude
Poor Decision Making
Anger
Forgiveness
Stress
Shame
Self Image
Peer Pressure
Male / Female Communication Differences

We provide a safe environment that promotes active and positive participation. We encourage each person to honor his or her own unique self.

Our staff has a combined total of 40 years of experience in the field of chemical dependency.
