• “Substance Abuse Counseling and Intervention—behavioral intervention and support services targeting issues related to alcohol and/or drug misuse in coordination with outpatient therapy recommendations and needs of the child and/or family.”
• Group and individual counseling services will be provided by one or more bachelor’s level workers, under the supervision of Dr. Gerald Case, Ph.D., who is a Licensed Psychological Examiner (See vitae in appendix A).
• Two hours of structured treatment focusing exclusively on A & D issues will be conducted five (5) days each week.
• An additional hour of structured programming will be provided seven (7) days each week, which will include independent living skills, social skills development, and spiritual services.

• One six hour workshop called Parenting the Difficult Teen.
• Three family group-sessions: 1) The Family Trap 2) Addiction in the Family, 3) Family Issues.
• At a minimum of once every three months, residents in this program will participate in the ROPES program at the North Central campus of TCH, which is located in Ashland City, Tennessee
• The core curriculum for this program will be Living in Balance, a nationally recognized and results verified program supplied by Hazelden, which is a leader in alcohol and drug education and treatment (see appendix B for complete details).  In brief, this curriculum offers the following:
• Twelve (12) core two-hour sessions that need not be taken sequentially, thus allowing a resident to enter into the program at any point.  These are interactive sessions that are culturally neutral.  Each week’s treatment activity will revolve around one of these sessions.
•  Three supplemental videos (Step for Adolsecents).
• Roadblocks to Recovery, which is a relapse prevention curriculum produced by Hazelden.
• Additional resources and materials will be used to supplement the core curriculums.
