Adolescent drug/alcohol and mental health issues are very serious matters..

Jon Daily provides a counseling process that involves individual or family counseling on a weekly basis, along with a parent/guardian education component. Each session has a specific purpose in the structured process of guiding an adolescent, young adult or adult toward recovery. It is recognized that almost all adolescents begin without the motivation to change. The first task of treatment is to help people develop a greater recognition of the problem, and to support the growing motivation to change.

The Family Education Program

Experience shows that recovery will be long lasting only if changes continue to be made in several key areas in an adolescent's or young adults life. Such changes will necessitate a review of attitudes, feelings and behaviors, and that is where the parents come in.

The Family Education Program is structured to help parents/guardians understand their crucial role in the recovery process. Participation in this part of the program is essential. We also support and encourage parental awareness and growth through recommended readings and referrals to parent support groups in the community.

Referrals

Jon has a extensive network with other adolescent care providers and is happy to work with families to find appropriate resources should there be a need for specialized services or a more intensive treatment program.

Program Service Information

Counseling services are provided between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Parent Education Program is offered every few weeks on a Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

My beliefs about adolescent drug use and treatment:

Treatment for substance use can be successful when individuals and their families fully participate in the recovery process. This includes understanding the biological, psychological, social and spiritual consequences of chemical use, how individuals and families are effected, and what the causes of relapse are. Also, by learning the difference between helping and enabling, family members can begin to support a drug-free lifestyle while addressing their own issues related to this illness. Hope, forgiveness, health boundaries, and serenity are all possible as families grow together toward a healthy lifestyle in recovery.

Beliefs:

Any chemical use is potentially harmful:
A person under the influence of mood altering substances has an impaired ability to make healthy decisions and their brain chemistry is being altered.

Substance abuse is an emotional illness:
After a relationship with drugs or alcohol has been developed, the ability to identify, express, and cope with emotions is damaged and their emotions become numbed and distorted.

Addiction is a biochemical disease:
Addiction is a primary, chronic, progressive disease that has its roots in genetics and brain chemistry.

Substance abuse occurs in all kinds of families:
Substance abuse crosses the lines of gender, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and spiritual and religious beliefs.

Everyone in the family is effected by chemical abuse:
Family members and others close to a person who is abusing chemicals are effected by the use and the consequences of that use.
