The Y.E.S. House treatment programs are aimed in keeping the
family together whenever possible and working with them in finding solutions
to problems. Both parents and children are involved in each step of this
process.
Residential Mental
Health/Substance Abuse Treatment Programs: serves youth ages 10-17 who need treatment for
mental health and addictions. Youth are supervised on a 24-hour basis by
degreed staff trained to manage moderate to severe behavior problems as well
as psychiatric and substance abuse/chemical dependency disorders. The program
provides individual, group, and family therapy as well as many
cutting-edge/evidence-based modalities of treatment for youth in need of
treatment for substance use, abuse or dependence. The average length of stay
in residential treatment is 6 to 9 months.
Family and Youth
Intervention and Family and Children Empowerment  Programs
- day
treatment: serves children ages of 8 to 17 who have been or would be expelled
or suspended from public school, who are transitioning from out-of-home
placement or detention back into the community, and those that are at risk of
out-of-home placement (court involvement) and are in need of treatment. It is the goal of the program to provide children
with educational and treatment services while keeping them in their homes.
From 8 am to 7pm pm students receive individual and group counseling, learn
independent living skills, work with the professionals to treat their
substance abuse problems, do school related homework and attend life skills
sessions. Individual, group and family
counseling are also included in the program. The average length of stay is
4-6 months.
Both treatment programs utilize the Y.E.S. House educational services from
8:00am-3:00pm.

Responsibility and Accountability
Each resident has an individual behavioral program outlining goals and
issues. The resident’s  willingness and
motivation to work on outlined issues is directly related to the amount of
privileges and responsibilities they receive during their stay at the Y.E.S.
House.
Therapy and Choices
Every resident is provided with weekly
individual counseling. These sessions are tailored to each resident’s needs.
Group counseling occurs five nights a week in an effort to expand residents’
awareness of themselves and others around them. Daily groups address social
skills, family issues, and anger management as well as criminal thinking
errors, character development, and transitional/independent living
skills. Groups, including drug and alcohol treatment groups, AA or NA
meetings are part of the treatment program. The program includes family
therapy as well. Cognitive/behavioral therapy, experiential therapies such as
art, drama, music and journaling, Reality Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization
and Re-integration (EMDR) and Adventure Wilderness are part of the program’s
multisystemic therapy. Our extensive family counseling ensures the family can
provide the support, structure and appropriate guidance needed for the youth
to be successful. Education is provided on parent/child relations, peer
relations, employment, educational skills and building self-esteem. Parents
and adolescents are encouraged to attend H.O.P.E. family nurturing classes.
Recreation/Artistic
Artistic and cultural enrichment
opportunities, recreational activities, community service projects are
important components of the treatment programs as well. Youth learn
teamwork, improve social skills, and experience alternatives to negative
types of recreation.
 Adventure Wilderness
Therapy:
is
designed to provide high-risk youth with a safe, therapeutic and educational
experience in a wilderness setting. This program is a
valuable opportunity for teenagers to participate in two to ten-day
wilderness backpacking expeditions. Participants benefit from
individual and group therapy, reading, storytelling, journaling, and other
activities that focus on their specific issues. Through
the combination of the wilderness environment, adventure activities, and the
sense of community formed by living closely, wilderness trips facilitate
desirable changes in our children.
