Description: Adolescents enter the Daytop program with a myriad of issues compounded by substance use. Residential treatment provides in-depth, full time exposure to a structured lifestyle. The curriculum integrates educational, clinical, and social activities, and is designed to teach responsibility and life management skills.

The ADU serves as the entry unit for the Daytop adolescent program. Our standard criteria for admission is based on a client’s need for chemical dependence services evidenced by recent unsuccessful attempts at abstinence; a history of prior treatment episodes including the inability to complete outpatient treatment; and/or substantial deficits in life skills. Clients are traditionally referred through school guidance counselors, court programs, outpatient programs and family members.

During the approximately 30 days that clients reside at the ADU, a multi-disciplinary staff performs an extensive educational, psychological, medical and legal evaluation. Clients are also introduced to the rules and regulations as well as the day-to-day activities of the therapeutic community. At the end of the process the staff, together with the clients’ family, formulates a treatment plan and the client is rotated to one or the other of the adolescent facilities.
