Adolescent Dual Diagnosis Program
The Adolescent Dual Diagnosis Program is designed to treat teens (ages 12 to 17) who have been diagnosed with a mental illness as well as a substance abuse disorder.
River Crest Hospital 's Adolescent Dual Diagnosis Program provides treatment for mental and emotional health needs as well as substance abuse issues. We provide a nurturing atmosphere and develop individualized treatment plans for each patient. Treatment is led by a board certified psychiatrist, and the treatment team includes licensed professional counselors, activity therapists, teachers, and registered nurses.
Each patient participates in process and education groups and activities therapy on a daily basis. We help the teen develop a positive self-image, appropriate social skills and healthy communication. Emphasis is placed on the identification of harmful behaviors and gaining insight into the emotions behind the actions. Through this discovery process, the patients learn to accept responsibility for their individual behavior, develop healthy modes of interaction with others and live a substance-free life.
