Substance Use Treatment
A spectrum of treatment services that is right for you
Substance use and co-occurring disorders counseling and treatment.
YES co-occurring therapists hold dual licenses, enabling them to treat both mental health and substance use disorders. They offer individualized programs for clients and their families, designed to help youth and their caregivers develop skills to reduce substance use, make thoughtful choices, and address contributing factors like stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. All YES substance use and co-occurring disorders treatment programs are motivational and strength-based, addressing substance use within the context of the whole person. These services integrate individual, family, and group therapy in a multi-phase treatment process grounded in evidence-based therapies.
Co-Occurring Disorders Counseling
Our skilled, dually-certified therapists work one-to-one with youth and their families to treat substance use disorders simultaneously with co-occurring mental health issues, such as depression and/or anxiety. This integrated approach to substance use treatment promotes long-term recovery by addressing not only substance use issues but also their root causes.

Substance Use Treatment Groups
YES’ Substance Use and Co-Occurring Treatment Group program embraces the philosophy that young people have the capacity to evaluate their lives and challenges, reflect on their decisions about substance use, and work to implement positive changes with the positive support of peers, loved ones, and skilled co-occurring treatment professionals. Groups are offered in combination with individual counseling and family support, and youth are encouraged to start in the group that is relevant to their needs, as determined at their assessment.
