Substance Abuse Services for Youth:
Adolescents who are using or abusing alcohol or other substances receive specialized services. BGAZ designed our Substance Abuse Services to restore balance to teens’ lives when they have become impaired by drug use and dependency.
With a combination of group, individual, and family therapies, we work to educate the teen and family about addiction and address his or her abuse/addiction issues.

The Bridge Group emphasizes the reduction in use and abuse and/or continued abstinence; the negative consequences of substance abuse; the development of social support networks and necessary lifestyle changes; an increase in social and interpersonal skills; and a continued commitment to recovery.

Staff work closely with Juvenile Courts, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Family and Child Services, schools, and families to reduce the risks of alcohol and other drug use.
