Abundant Life Academy Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling Programs for Troubled Teens

Abundant Life Academy Substance Abuse Program (12 months)

First and foremost Abundant Life Academy Adolecesnt Substance Abuse Counseling Programs are based on our Christian Leadership Academy foundation. We serve "formerly" good kids who are now way off track, making poor decisions, and in need of immediate substance abuse counseling treatment intervention. The ALA Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling Program is specifically designed for the troubled teen that has abused drugs and/or alcohol, and is heading toward addiction or chemical dependency, and is in desperate need of Christian counseling. Additionally, the ALA Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling Program is supported by a tremendous academic program to go along with our powerful Christ-centered leadership/discipleship program.

At Abundant Life Academy we have recognized that all kids are different, especially when it comes to the depth of their rebellion and substance abuse. The fact is that some troubled boys and girls have gone further down the road of rebelliousness, and therefore have different needs. Those troubled boys and troubled girls who have substance abuse problems need special attention to the counseling component of our programs for adolescents. Abundant Life Academy offers four different programs to meet the specific needs of our students. Below is the description of the ALA Substance Abuse Counseling Program.

Trimester I – ALA Leadership Program (first 4 months)

Substance Abuse Education: We start with an in depth drug and alcohol assessment process. We need to know exactly how far the student has progressed down the road of substance abuse. After the assessment, we present a provocative and intense education regarding the pitfalls and dangers of substance abuse. Our educational program is a real world, in depth, understanding as to why teens abuse stances (drugs and alcohol). Additionally, we offer a no nonsense approach to what negative effect drugs and alcohol have on the adolescent brain, personality development, and emotional wellness. The substance abuse program includes the assessment and educational component, as well as group and individual substance abuse counseling.

Human Behavior: A Christ-centered view about “how and why” people “act”. This segment of the ALA Leadership Program is an in-depth learning about “oneself”; personality traits, temperaments, personal strengths and weaknesses, as well as “blindspots” (actions and behaviors that continue to undermine the child’s progress). Through the “Human Behavior” segment the ALA students learn the basics regarding “effective interpersonal” communication [learning to relate to others and communicate better] and “conflict resolution”. In addition, students come to understand the dangers and drawbacks of “selfishness” and “self-centeredness”. Moreover, the ALA students learn to care for others, lifting others above themselves, and loving others. During this phase the ALA student learns why he/she struggles to relate to others (especially parents) and why they continue to make poor decisions. Students also learn the power behind “submission to authority”.

Furthermore, the ALA student will complete at least one Trimester academic credit during Trimester I, as well as to be involved in serving others through “community service”. Trimester I students can participate in athletics, worship team, and other prosocial activities that promote well-being.  For more of the description of the ALA Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling Program please click here.
