At Mountainside, we know that teens face different challenges as they recover from drugs and alcohol. Our Adolescent Services program is designed to prepare teens against peer pressure, help them resolve internal conflicts, and manage their academic demands. Focusing on both your teen’s strengths and weaknesses, we teach positive decision making, refusal strategies, and coping skills crucial to maintaining sobriety in everyday situations.
To better meet your teen’s specific needs, we offer two treatment options, providing them the customized help and support they need to succeed.
Allows your teen to privately address their emotions, gain a stronger sense of self, and practice prevention techniques while working towards achieving their recovery goals.
In the first 365 days of your recovery journey, Recovery Coaching provides you a partner, mentor, spiritual guide, and support system to help you adjust to a new sober lifestyle.
To increase your teen’s chance for a successful recovery, we supplement our clinical treatment offerings with family wellness services, allowing you and your teen to be partners in their recovery journey.
