Adolescent Primary Care

One of the most challenging patients to address clinically is the adolescent. Providing an accurate drug and alcohol assessment, addressing co-occurring psychiatric issues and simultaneously meeting increasingly complicated family needs are the norm throughout Caron's Adolescent Treatment Services. The process starts in our 40-bed primary Adolescent Treatment Center and, in most cases, continues for an additional 90 days in our Extended Care Programs.

Caron recognizes that adolescents require different treatment modalities. We are well aware that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development of adolescents differs from adults. To deal with these issues appropriately, many adolescents with substance abuse and mental health problems need to get away from their current environment and into a safe place with others their age. They also need professionals specifically trained to understand their special needs.

Caron has modern, gender-separate treatment facilities for adolescents 13-19 years old.
