Once admitted to treatment your primary clinician completes an assessment review to evaluate any changes that have taken place in the interim between assessment and admission.  This information in conjunction with staff observation is taken to the first clinical staffing where a team decision is made as to which therapy model to use based on issues, skills, strengths and limitations. Clinical Staffing is a comprehensive review of your involvement in treatment and is conducted once every two weeks.

Sojourner uses The Seven Challenges, written by Dr. Robert Schwebel, in our Adolescent Programs. This is highly individualized approach allowing you and your family to work at your own pace. In addition other therapy modules include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Skill Building.

Along with individual counseling you will attend group therapy, life skills groups, chemical dependency education classes, Parent Workshops, and Family sessions. Every two weeks Treatment Plans are developed between you and your clinician to fit your specific needs.

Length of stay is contingent upon your progress in treatment and highly individualized based on your specific needs.  While our emphasis is chemical dependency, other areas of concern for you and your family are addressed as well.  To maintain a holistic approach, significant focus and effort is put forth to identify special needs and refer you to the appropriate sources. We have developed strong collaborative relationships with many community resources.
