Adolescent Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Massachusetts

At Sameem Behavioral Health, our 40 years of service in the community have earned us a strong reputation for providing compassionate and effective care to adolescents aged 13-17 who exhibit alcoholic drinking, drug abuse, or who suffer from mental health problems. Our comprehensive adolescent program is designed to support students in overcoming obstacles and thriving in their academic, personal, and emotional lives. Because of our long experience, we understand the unique challenges that adolescents face as they navigate the complexities of substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress.

Adolescent Alcohol Use or Substance Use Disorder - A Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We specialize in working with adolescents struggling with substance use disorder, as well as co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Our integrated approach addresses the complex interplay between addiction and mental health, allowing us to provide tailored treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each student.

Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Substance Abuse and Alcohol Use Disorder

Our adolescent IOP program for alcoholism or drug abuse offers a flexible and supportive environment that allows students to maintain their school schedules while receiving the care they need. Through a combination of group therapy, individual counseling, family meetings, and educational sessions, students engage in meaningful discussions, learn coping skills, and build supportive relationships with peers who understand their struggles.

Adolescent Substance Abuse - Partnerships with Schools and Families

We recognize the importance of collaboration and communication in supporting adolescent wellness. We partner closely with schools, guidance counselors, and parents to form a cohesive and supportive team around struggling students. By working together, we can provide consistent care, identify challenges early, and implement effective interventions to promote positive outcomes.

Family Therapy and Aftercare Support for Adolescent IOP Patients

Family involvement is a crucial component of our adolescent program. We offer family therapy both as a separate service and as an integrated part of our adolescent IOP program, allowing families to address communication issues, set boundaries, and rebuild trust in a supportive and structured environment.

For students who have completed our IOP process, we offer a strong aftercare program designed to support ongoing recovery and life skills development. Through continued therapy, support groups, and educational workshops, students can maintain their sobriety and thrive in their personal and academic lives.

Adolescent Drug Addiction Treatment with Compassion

Our adolescent program is founded on the principles of empathy, understanding, and respect. We recognize that adolescence is a critical period of development, and we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where students can explore their challenges and strengths with guidance from our experienced team of therapists and counselors.

Substance Use Disorder in Adolescents - Community Engagement and Education

We are committed to staying connected with schools and providing valuable resources and support to guidance counselors and educators.
