For TEENS
DAAC offers outpatient programs and services for adolescents with alcohol and drug problems, and their parents. Adolescence – even without alcohol and drug abuse -- is a difficult maturational passage. It is the bridge between the dependency of childhood and adult identity. Often, it is a time of rebellion, "trying on" adult behaviors and extensive limit testing in all areas. Many youth are unable to handle physical and emotional consequences when alcohol and drugs are involved. Treatment for adolescents not only results in a reduction in heavy drinking and drug use, but adolescents receiving treatment are found to have fewer thoughts of suicide, lower hostility, higher self-esteem and they report better-than-average grades.

At the main Santa Rosa facility and a satellite site located at Ridgway High School, Outpatient Treatment provides assessment, evaluation, education and counseling for youth (ages 12-18); parental consent is not required, although parental involvement is encouraged. Designed to support youth and their families in achieving a life free from substances, Outpatient Treatment provides individual, family, and group counseling, as well as case management, life skills training, and peer support. The length of treatment is based on the youth’s needs and completion of individualized treatment goals. Groups focus on alcohol and other drug education, relapse prevention, development of a sober and healthy support network, and integration of recovery tools into the young person’s daily life. Family members are encouraged to participate in treatment whenever possible, participating in collateral/family sessions and the free weekly Family and Friends Support Group.

It is BIOGENETIC

• You don't choose to acquire it.
• A family history of drug/alcohol problems puts you at greater risk.

It is a PRIMARY Illness

• If you have chemical dependency, it's not a symptom of some other problem.
• If you have chemical dependency and other problems, your chemical dependency will interfere with treatment for other problems unless the chemical dependency is also treated.

It is a CHRONIC Illness

• It won't go away because you ignore it, don't like it or don't want to believe you have it.
• It's not "just a phase".

It is a PROGRESSIVE Illness

• Without treatment it will eventually get worse.
• It usually gets worse more quickly for women and young people.

If left Untreated, Addiction can be FATAL

• Drinking and driving
• Overdose/alcohol poisoning
• Disease
• Organ Failure
• Violence
• Suicide
