Psychiatric Services (top)
Rosecrance professionals recognize that oftentimes mental illness and substance abuse go hand-in-hand. Psychiatric evaluation and treatment is available at Rosecrance based on individual patient needs. Your treatment team will combine your needs and expectations with a psychiatric screening to determine if a referral to the psychiatrist is appropriate. Inpatient clients have access to psychiatric services on campus.

Family Program (top)
The family program provides an educational experience regarding the disease of addiction for family members with lectures, open discussion and experiential activities. You and your family members will look at addiction as a family disease and identify not only how it has impacted the family, but also identify ways you and your family can work together in your recovery from this illness.

The Recovery Lifeline is an additional tool for adolescent patients who have positively completed inpatient treatment at Rosecrance. Patients will meet with the Recovery Lifeline counselor prior to discharge. Contact will be available for six months after completing treatment. The Recovery Lifeline is a continuing care service and is not intended to replace 12-Step meetings, outpatient follow-up or individual therapy, but rather to support the patient and family’s continuation of recovery goals and changes begun while in treatment.

Outpatient Treatment (top)
Individual, group and family counseling are provided for adolescents with moderate to serious impairment due to chemical use. The level of outpatient care recommended is determined by each individual's needs. The Intensive Outpatient program focuses on recovery skills while you stay in your home environment. Topics of lectures and groups include coping skills to prevent use, anger management, using sober support, thinking errors and the effect of drugs on your body. You will be required to submit a drug screen each week.

The Continuing Care Program meets once a week for three hours. It focuses on supporting you as you establish yourself in a sober lifestyle. Group topics include individual concerns and support progress you make in family relations, school, work and legal matters.

The Rosecrance Griffin Williamson Campus is situated in a peaceful setting overlooking ponds, a Japanese influences serenity garden and a large wooded area. The campus is designed to create an environment conducive to recovery for youth and their families. The tranquil beauty and wonder of nature enhance the healing atmosphere with the campus and the garden creating a complementary indoor and outdoor relationship. The spending time in the garden engages all of our senses and offers positive distractions to everyday life. Seating areas are quiet space to relax, read and simply reflect.

The garden is also utilized as part of the Experiential Therapies Program as a tool for teaching adolescents how to re-engage their senses, connect to the elements of nature, and cultivate physical and emotional stability. By creating a naturally therapeutic space, Rosecrance has been able to design a program that is unique among adolescent treatment programs.
