Programs
Assessment
At New Directions, the right track begins with an assessment to evaluate each adolescent's chemical use, mental health, and family situation. When the assessment is completed, recommendations are provided.
Gender Specific Residential Treatment
Chemically dependent adolescents receive intensive, 24-hour treatment from a dedicated staff, which includes a Medical Director, Psychiatrist, Nursing Director, Registered Dietician, and Certified Therapists. The therapeutic day includes education from full-time teachers and a teaching assistant in a school program coordinated by Orange City Schools.
The program also includes group therapy, individual therapy, life-skills training, physical recreation and 12 step recovery meetings. Length of stay varies, based upon each person's needs.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment

For adolescents who do not need 24-hour supervision, or who have completed residential treatment, New Directions provides appropriate levels of intensive outpatient treatment.
Treatment consists of after-school meetings, three times a week, three hours per session, and includes family therapy.

Length of stay varies, based upon each person's needs.

Family & Individual Therapy
When necessary, New Directions will provide additional counseling services for both adolescents and their families.
Continuing Care
When adolescents no longer require intensive residential or outpatient treatment, New Directions provides an individualized program of continuing treatment therapy, and support to adolescents and their families.
Home-Based Treatment
New Directions offers an in-home, community-centered program, providing intervention and treatment for adolescents and their families.
Staff
Our multidisciplinary clinical treatment team of therapists, treatment specialists, teachers, and our consulting physician and psychiatrist provide compassionate treatment for chemically dependent adolescents and their families.
