What is Outpatient Treatment?
Outpatient sites offer educational, individual, group, and family counseling. Parent educations workshops on parenting teens struggling with substance use are available in both English and Spanish. Case Management services are available to support and encourage young adults with social, educational, and vocational needs. Appointments are available in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
Outpatient sites offer services up to 6 hours per week based on the client’s needs. Services are offered at centrally based clinics as well as at particular school sites throughout Santa Clara County.
Treatment services are offered to youth without mandated parent involvement. We do encourage parents to be involved, as treatment is more effective when there is family or caregiver encouragement.
Intensive outpatient treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT) is an intensive track to help youth with higher levels of need. IOT helps youth focus on positive relapse prevention skills and the effects of substance use in their lives. Clients attend a minimum of 6 hours per week and are offered individual, group and family therapy.
Transitional Age Youth Program (TAY).
The Transitional Age Youth program (TAY ) is sensitive to the developmental needs of young adults age 18-25, coordinating services appropriate for this age group, such as community resources and treatment services for substance use.
