We offer Drug treatment counseling and home supervision for juvenile probationers. Our services fall under 5 separate categories.

Outpatient Substance Abuse Program

Individual and group counseling focuses on prevention and education related to the dangers of drug, alcohol and tobacco use. Services are also provided at Log Cabin Ranch and the Youth Guidance Center.

Intensive Home Based Supervision

This program advocates for intensive, supervised programming which permits juveniles to remain out of custody by following strict service plans and monitoring guidelines.
