Residential: Children�s Substance Abuse

Program Description

The Harbor Academy is an 18-bed residential substance abuse treatment facility for adolescents with an average 4-6 month length of stay. Treatment includes individual, group, and family therapy. Milieu Treatment is provided within the therapeutic community along with Rational Recovery and 12-step self-help support groups. All residents are enrolled in the Alternative Education Class provided by the Pasco County School Board. Parents/guardians are required to attend prescribed family sessions as well as multi-family psycho-educational groups.

As part of The Academy, a transition track has been developed for those individuals who are aging out of the Adolescent Residential Program to be successfully transitioned into our Adult Residential Program. Ongoing collaboration of continuing care strategies and referrals for post-residential services occurs with all stakeholders, specifically Juvenile Justice. The primary target population is adolescents with substance abuse disorders and/or co-occurring mental health issues. The majority of adolescents are referred through the Department of Children & Families, the Department of Juvenile Justice and self-referral. The adolescents must be between the ages of 13-18 and non-violent, non-suicidal and non-homicidal with substance abuse problems.
