Support Groups & Counseling

We have multiple counseling programs and support groups. Information is below; you can jump directly to the Better Choices Program or Support Groups.

Individual & Family Counseling

Counseling: Individual and Family logoSecond Growth staff provide treatment, counseling, and recovery support to young people and families struggling with the complex issues of addiction or substance misuse. Our counselors use a compassionate and motivating style to engage clients in conversations about behaviors leading to substance abuse and work to build new skills to develop resiliency for a clean and healthy lifestyle.

Individual counseling can include:

  • Full Assessments
  • Urine Screenings
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Referrals for additional levels of care, as needed
  • Supplemental counseling for medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction

Second Growth counselors are a good resource for parents or caregivers concerned about their adolescent’s marijuana, alcohol, or other substance abuse. If your adolescent is not ready for help, this does not mean you should not access support for yourself and your family. Counselors are skilled at reinforcing healthy behaviors and helping parents set clear boundaries to reduce adverse and risky behaviors.

To schedule an appointment call 802-295-9800.
