Provider Description

Our programs have identified an increasing need for services for youth who are already using or abusing alcohol or other drugs, or who are exhibiting behavior which puts them at extremely high risk for abusing alcohol or other drugs.

Youth and Family Counseling Program (YFCP) provides the following services:
    Assessment: Youth and Family Counseling staff will meet with a teen and his/her family to assess the nature and degree of the problem. This process will involve meeting with the teen individually, with the parent(s), and with the whole family together. A treatment plan will be developed that meets the unique needs of each family and may include any or all of the following:

    Individual Counseling: Individual sessions with the adolescent will provide a safe, confidential place for the teen to establish a trusting relationship with an adult where he/she can discuss the challenges of living an alcohol and drug free life; identify and clarify his/her own goals and how to go about achieving them; and discuss and discover better ways to get along with his/her family.

    Family Counseling: Counseling sessions with the whole family will focus on rebuilding damaged relationships; educating the whole family about substance abuse; helping the family establish clear rules and consequences regarding the adolescent’s behavior; and supporting the adolescent in finding ways to live a healthy lifestyle without using alcohol or other drugs.

    Group Counseling: Group counseling will be offered so that teens as well as their parents/legal guardians can meet and discuss the challenges of substance abuse. Families are taught to support each other in the process of leading healthier, drug –free, and productive lives. As a chemically dependent adolescent moves away from a lifestyle that has centered on using drugs, it is critical to establish a new circle of friends who are also trying to be clean and sober. Positive peer group support is critical to the success of a young person making changes in his/her life.

    Parent Support Group: Group sessions for parents/legal guardians that address issues of teen recovery, family relationships, anger management, conflict resolution, effective parenting, and co-dependency may be offered as the need arises.

Fees: Youth Services Program (YSP), Lambda Youth Project (LYP), and Summer Youth Program (SYP) services are free to all participants. Youth and Family Counseling Program services (YFCP) are offered on a sliding fee scale. There is an initial $40.00 charge for the Alcohol and Other Drug Assessment. We accept Medi-Cal Insurance.
No one is refused services due to inability to pay.
