Youth Services

The Wyoming County Chemical Abuse Treatment Program provides assessment, referral, and outpatient treatment geared toward helping adolescents to improve their lives without the use of chemicals. The reasons why adolescents use drugs are as varied as the dozens of substances available these days. One thing is certain, nobody chooses to be come chemically dependent. While in treatment, adolescents learn that chemical dependency is a disease which can not be cured, but can be managed. Through abstinence, education, group therapy, and by creating sober support system, teens and their families begin to rebuild their lives and discover healthy ways to deal with life's challenges. Referrals can be made by any parent or legal guardian. All calls and appointments are confidential.

COA Group: Our COA (Children of Addictions) Group is a free education, prevention, and support group for children ages 7-12 who live (or have lived) in homes that have been affected by alcohol or drug abuse.

Through small group presentations, art therapy, and team building exercises, children learn that addiction is a disease, appropriate ways to express feelings, and refusal skills.
