Adolescent Counseling Services is an outpatient alcohol and substance abuse treatment program located in Palo Alto, CA, dedicated to serving adolescents and teens struggling with addiction. This facility specializes in helping young people navigate recovery while addressing the unique challenges they face during critical developmental years. With a focus on comprehensive, evidence-based care, Adolescent Counseling Services supports not only those dealing with substance use disorders, but also teens with co-occurring mental health conditions and those involved in the criminal justice system.
Adolescent Counseling Services offers outpatient substance abuse treatment, which allows teens to receive professional care while maintaining their daily routines, including school and family involvement. This level of care is ideal for adolescents who do not require 24-hour residential supervision but benefit from structured counseling, behavioral therapy, and psychiatric support. The facility is equipped to treat young people with co-occurring disorders—meaning clients who have both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD—using integrated treatment approaches. Additionally, the program serves criminal justice-involved adolescents, providing court-ordered or court-referred substance abuse treatment that supports rehabilitation and reduces recidivism.
Adolescent Counseling Services accepts military insurance including VA and TRICARE, ensuring that service members' families have access to quality addiction treatment. The facility also welcomes self-payment options for those without insurance coverage. Under the Mental Health Parity Act, insurance plans that cover substance abuse treatment must do so at the same level as other medical and mental health services, meaning coverage for addiction care is a protected benefit. Financial concerns should never prevent a teen from getting the help they need—our admissions team can work with you to explore all available payment options and maximize your coverage.
