We are proud of the success of our adolescent treatment programs, and having the right substance abuse counseling team who can communicate well with young people is key to this success. Staff members must display professionalism, a passion for helping people find recovery and the ability to create an environment for teen drug abusers that is both therapeutic and fun.
