Treatment Programs at Youth and Shelter Services

Youth and Shelter Services offers outpatient substance abuse treatment designed specifically for adolescents and teens. Outpatient care allows young people to receive professional treatment while maintaining their daily routines, attending school, and staying connected with family support systems. This level of care is ideal for teens who do not require 24-hour residential supervision but need structured therapy, counseling, and medical monitoring to overcome addiction. The program addresses the root causes of substance abuse through evidence-based interventions while helping teens develop healthy coping strategies and life skills for long-term recovery.

Insurance & Payment at Youth and Shelter Services

Youth and Shelter Services accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure that cost is never a barrier to treatment. The facility works with Medicare, private health insurance, state-financed programs (other than Medicaid), and self-payment options. Insurance plans are required to provide mental health and substance abuse coverage under the Mental Health Parity Act, meaning your teen's addiction treatment is covered at the same level as other medical conditions. Additionally, Youth and Shelter Services offers sliding fee scales and payment assistance programs for families who need financial support.
