Aftercare or Transitional Services

A significant time for youth and their families is the completion of treatment and the transition back into their home community.  As part of our reunification/transitional program, Clinicare maintains contact with youth and their families for approximately 3 months after they complete their treatment.  The goal of this contact is to encourage and assist them in their success as well as decrease recidivism.  During this contact, our aftercare specialists will monitor school attendance, medication compliance, ongoing treatment/therapeutic compliance,  employment opportunities, and anything else that might assist the youth in remaining at home. 

 

Through this contact we also obtain outcome information statistics to help us measure success and identify areas we need to improve.  

Individual and Group Psychotherapy

Rational ‑ Emotive; Cognitive Behavorial Intervention; Interpersonal; Client Centered; Gestalt; Reality Therapy; Experiential Psychotherapy.  Behavioral Therapies are reflected in the approaches of the primary therapist, treatment coord­inators, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).   Which approach is selected for a particular resident depends upon the needs of the resident.  Individual therapy is provided for each resident at least one hour per week by the primary therapist. EMDR therapy may also be a benefitical treatment component.  This can be discussed with the treatment team as a possible therapeutic intervention.

 

GROUP THERAPIES Group therapy occurs daily on each living unit. Some groups may provoke more insight and discussion among residents regarding their treatment issues as well. The Clincal and nursing staff conduct the clinical groups (DBT, Choice and Changes, AODA, Trauma Recovery, Health). The Acadmeny staff facilitate daily processing groups as well.  Group therapy topics include: social skills and opportunities to improve peer relationships, relationship problems and proper ways to give feedback and resolve conflict, anger control, education of sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, and birth control, self-awareness and assertiveness, taking responsibility for oneself, values clarification, AODA at-risk behaviors (tobacco use, alcohol or other drug abuse), cultural awareness and heritage issues, divorce and family relationships, and independent living skills. Specialty Group Therapies are offered based on any additional needs of the current population, and conducted by a therapist.

Structured Recreation

The Academy provides structural recreation through extensive, well-equipped on-ground facilities. This gives your child a safe environment to relieve stress and anxiety through physical activity. Off grounds activities are regularly planned as well, so that each resident can practice the skills they are learning in the structured environment.

Transportation

Every program will coordinate the transportation to and from the Academy for all needs.  We pride ourselves in minimizing the geographic impact of our programs.  Our programs routinely transport youth back home for any appointment that is important to their overall treatment success.
