Adolescent Services
- In recognition of the unique needs of youth, Genesis Counseling Services provides a variety of specialized services for the adolescent population.
- Adolescent Intervention Model for Substance Abuse (AIMS)
This innovative and intensive 13-week outpatient substance abuse program for adolescents ages 12-17 is designed to help teens develop the skills they need to decrease and eliminate the impact that alcohol/drugs have on their lives. - Youth Substance Abuse Program (YoSAP)
This three session educational format is designed to give a teen educational information about alcohol, marijuana and other illicit drugs and the risk associated with their use. It also provides information about the warning signs of addiction and alternative ways to cope with the unique challenges of adolescence. This format is designed for the teen who is just beginning to experience problems with alcohol/drugs and would benefit from learning about substance abuse so they can honestly assess their usage and identify how to make healthier choices. This program can also serve as an entry point into traditional outpatient treatment by providing a foundation of information to start ongoing services. - Ongoing Substance Abuse Groups
Genesis Counseling Services offers gender specific treatment for teens who are struggling with substance abuse issues. All groups are limited to ten clients and led by a professional facilitator who specializes in adolescent issues. This group format allows teens to obtain ongoing education and support around alcohol/drug issues while being supported and challenged by their peers to maintain abstinence and develop alternative coping skills. - Anger Management (8 sessions)
This time limited group format is designed to provide the adolescent with educational information about alcohol, drugs and anger management issues. Group members are challenged to explore their relationship with alcohol/drugs and understand how it may or may not factor into their anger management style. Group members are taught the importance of taking responsibility for their past behaviors while learning new anger management techniques.
