Services
The Juvenile Services Substance Abuse Program provides
a continuum of services to youth
and their families referred by the 9th District Judicial Court and
the Court Service Unit. More
specifically, our substance abuse program provides early intervention/prevention
and educational services to youth who are typically at high risk for further
substance abuse behavior as well as those who are historically underserved.
This program is solution focused, family centered, interagency cooperative and
community based.
As a way of identifying youth in the early stages of substance
misuse, the program provides substance assessment and evaluation services. The
program also provides multi-family substance abuse education groups, which focus
on reducing risk factors through building family resiliency. Drug screen
monitoring is required by all program participants. Individual and Family
counseling services are offered to all families in the program who require
follow up treatment beyond group services. The programs ultimate goal is to
establish a drug free community.
The following is a
quick description of services provided:
-
A comprehensive psychosocial evaluation
and a parent/child assessment inventory.
-
Substance Abuse Education groups are
offered on a regular basis in Williamsburg and York County.
-
All youth participating in groups
complete three urine drug screens.
-
A treatment plan that may include
individual and family counseling.
