Treatment and Recovery Program

Individual, family and group services are tailored to specifically address the issues faced by youth who are striving to become drug-free. OMNI understands the importance of family relationships and the adolescent’s home environment. Because these issues play a significant role in helping an adolescent recover from substance abuse, family counseling groups are an integral part of the youth’s recovery program.

• Basic Outpatient Services (BOP): This program aims to increase responsibility, manage risk, and reduce harm through systematic treatment approaches to address adolescent substance abuse.
• Intensive Outpatient Services (IOP):This program is designed to provide an effective, comprehensive and systematic treatment approach to address high-risk adolescent substance use which has been unresponsive to less restrictive treatment. Professional staff work with youth six to nine hours per week to have the adolescents focus on changing their destructive patterns related to substance abuse. Treatment plans are developed based on the individual needs but will include a combination of individual therapy, family therapy and/or group counseling.
