Adolescent Chemical Dependency Program
Adolescent Chemical Dependency Inpatient Program at Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System provides treatment for adolescents ages 13-17. The philosophy of the program is based on The Seven Challenges, a research based model. It is an individualized model with careful attention to meeting youth where they are and providing successful counseling interventions. This helps young people look at themselves, understand what it takes to give up a drug abusing lifestyle, and prepare for success when they commit to change.
The Adolescent Chemical Dependency Program is designed for adolescents who require intensive intervention for Chemical Dependency problems.
Components of the program include:
- The Seven Challenges – Journaling, Group and Relapse Prevention
- Individual Therapy
- Group Therapy
- Intensive Family Therapy
- Activity Therapy
- Spirituality Counseling
- Nursing Education
Family Therapy is a major component of treatment at Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System. The multidisciplinary treatment team seeks to engage the family as an ally in the adolescent's treatment whenever possible.
Each individual attends school on-site and is led by Certified Teachers through the Hardin County School System.
The adolescent's Case Coordinator begins discharge planning upon admission by developing goals and plans for a transition to a less intensive level of treatment.
