Center for Human Services Youth Substance Abuse treatment Program offers both Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient programs for school, probation, diversion and self referral clients. We also do comprehensive drug and alcohol assessments using the Global Assessment of Individual Needs (GAIN I). This is a standardized assessment tool used by all youth providers contracted by  King County  Our program uses an evidenced based curriculum to provide the youth with a structure of education, information and facts about the effects of drugs and alcohol along with skill building exercises.  The group is also exposed to experiential education to broaden their ability to both learn and participate in a group setting.

 The youth outpatient treatment meets twice weekly along with either weekly or monthly individual sessions depending upon a youth’s needs and submission of weekly urinalysis testing in a safe and structured environment.

 Addiction being defined as a “family disease” it is our goal at CHS to engage the youth and the family in the treatment process so, that all involved can learn the skills to communicate and develop a sober support for the youth.
