Adolescent Chemical Dependency and Co-Occurring Treatment Program Opens at Barry Robinson Center
The Barry Robinson Center, a Norfolk, Virginia behavioral healthcare organization serving youth and their families, has opened a new program, St. Brendan's Harbor, that addresses the treatment needs of adolescents with primary chemical dependency and substance abuse problems requiring a residential treatment setting as well as adolescents with a co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric condition.
Patrick Bateman, Ph.D, Executive Director of The Barry Robinson Center, reported that the Center conducted a survey of professionals serving youth, and the respondents indicated there was a great need for residential treatment services for substance abusing adolescents.
The program will provide rehabilitation 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Center’s beautiful 28 acre campus. The substance abuse services will be physician-directed and will incorporate the 12-step model. Each adolescent will be assisted in developing a personal recovery plan that includes an emphasis on relapse prevention and family participation in the treatment process.
For more information about this program call 1-800-221-1995 or visit The Barry Robinson Center’s website at www.barryrobinson.org.
