Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment for Adolescents in Dallas/Ft. Worth

The Right Step provides individualized addiction treatment for adolescents with substance abuse and co-occurring issues, such as mood disorders, anxiety, and anger management.  Counselors, credited with years of educational and practical experience, work hard to create individualized treatment plans and relapse prevention plans with the adolescent and their families.  The addiction recovery staff, including Counselors, Nurses, and Recovery Advocates work as a team to create an honest and comfortable environment for adolescents and their families.  They strive to set a positive example for the adolescents, modeling healthy behaviors and teaching them how to be respectful towards others.     

Addiction treatment at the Right Step goes beyond teaching adolescents and their families how to maintain sobriety; counselors work directly with clients on some of the core issues that lead to substance abuse.  They help adolescents reach their full potential through life skills training and managing their emotions by establishing healthy coping skills.  Counselors work one-on-one with clients and their families to rebuild trust, effective communication, and establishing boundaries within the family unit.  In addition, the Right Step provides parents with an ongoing weekly support group and family education groups to provide families with the knowledge they need to support their son/daughter in their addiction recovery.  Recovery Advocates (RAs) work with adolescents on an individual and group basis in order to teach them responsibility and help them grow in their recovery through the 12 step program.  They encourage respectful and honest communication on a regular basis and provide ongoing feedback on their progress.  The Right Step offers multiple groups on a daily basis, including experiential, art therapy, chemical dependency education, and relapse prevention, which allows the adolescents to share stories, learn from their peers, and practice the healthy behaviors they are continually developing in treatment.
