Focus of Program: The dually diagnosed partial hospitalization program is structured very similarly to the partial hospitalization program.  In addition, it provides services to adolescent boys and girls whose mental health needs are complicated by substance abuse.

The program incorporates participation in the twelve-step program.  Its goal is to help adolescents live free of mood-altering chemicals by developing their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Recovering and non-recovering staff address the physiological aspects of the disease of addiction, as well as the emotional needs underlying initial experimentation and abuse.
