Spokane Outpatient – Specialized Programs

G.O.A.L.S Program (Ages 10-13)
We want to identify and intervene with kids before their substance use becomes serious  (21% begin using at age 11 or younger). The focus of this younger kids program is:

Drug and alcohol effects
Refusal skills
Identifying emotions & feelings
Building Self-esteem
Creating healthy relationships

Independent Living Skills Program (Ages 16+)

Many of our kids are forced to enter the adult world at an early age, with little support, and no preparation. This program was designed to help prevent relapse by teaching clients key life skills such as:

Developing a resume
Applying for jobs
Opening a bank account
Applying to college
Cooking healthy meals
Budgeting

Connections to Community Support:

Aftercare planning
AA, NA, CA involvement
Sponsorship
Alateen, Alanon, Youth Groups, etc.
