Chemical Dependency
Often a psychiatric diagnosis is not the only problem youth are battling at the time of admission. Our chemical dependency counselor will work hand in hand with patients and their families to address addiction or drug-abusing behaviors during their treatment stay for a co-existing psychiatric disorder.
Treating children and adolescents from onset to 18 years of age, we provide families a better understanding of the treatment process and will help youth understand the effect drugs have on their development and future problems that can occur with continued use.
