Current Difficulties
Venture Academy's Outreach Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program provides
a full spectrum of substance abuse treatment, counseling, and support
services to male and female youth ages 15- 19 who may be experiencing
difficulties managing their lives due to alcohol or drug abuse.
Venture Academy's Outreach Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program serves
a client population who may have a history of substance abuse
and related issues such as:
· family difficulties
· school suspensions
· problems with the law
· negative peer relationships
. employment problems clinically diagnosed disorders
· other significant behavioural challenges
Clients accessing the program may be
demonstrating behavioural challenges and experiencing emotional
difficulties intertwined with alcohol or drug abuse. These barriers
would most likely be preventing the client from healthy functioning
in his or her everyday life causing disruptions in school, family
life, and social relationships.
Historical Concerns
There may be a multitude of reasons why an individual develops an
addiction problem. At Venture Academy we attempt to explore the
factors contributing to the development of an addiction. Parents
may or may not know why their son or daughter has become involved
in substance abuse.
Sometimes however, a piece of the puzzle
may have already been identified. Contributing factors may include
emotional difficulties, mental health issues, and clinically diagnosed
disorders, such as: low self-esteem, depression, poor self-concept,
Attention Deficit Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant
Disorder etc.
Venture Academy's individualized approaches,
intervention methods and service plans, enable us to accommodate
an extensive client base including those with significant behavioural
challenges and/or the above-mentioned diagnosis.
