Outpatient: Outpatient services include screening, assessment, counseling, information and referral, and urinalysis services. DATA provides screening services for any person referred to the program. The level of care generally involves weekly sessions supplemented by participation in self-help meetings. Family therapy is an integral part of the client’s treatment experience. Outreach services are provided for adolescents in their homes and at sites more accessible for the client. Inpatient: DATA operates two co-ed adolescent residential treatment centers – The Norman C. Hayslip Center in Fort Pierce with a capacity of 19 beds and the Walter D. Kelly Center in West Palm Beach with 20 beds. The average length of stay is six months and includes individual, group and family therapy as well as on-site education programs. The centers operate year round, 24 hours a day. Successful completion of the program is based on: progressing academically, coming to terms with the impact drugs have had on the client’s life, and changing behavior that is not acceptable in society. Aftercare Support: The Aftercare program and activities focus on relapse prevention strategies for youth who have successfully completed DATA residential and outpatient programs. These services include relapse prevention groups, support groups, and other activities that support a drug-free existence.

Group Therapy: Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members. Individual Therapy: In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. Trauma Therapy: Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client\'s past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Alcoholism: The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings. Opioid Addiction: Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction. Substance Abuse: Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

CARF: The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF\'s, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care. CARF Accreditation: Yes
