Youth substance use program launches at Family Guidance

May 15—The Family Guidance Center has a new program aimed at youth dealing with substance use disorders.

"We understand the devastating effects of substance use disorders," the Family Guidance Center's website reads. "We understand it's a medical condition, a disease that worsens over time, hurting both the person directly, family members and other important relationships. We also know that with appropriate treatment and assistance, a healthy, happy, productive life is within the reach."

The program is designed for kids ages 12 to 17 and includes individual and group and family therapies, support and medication assisted treatment.
