Driving Directions

Cullman Recovery Center for Teens (RCT) is designed for youth between the ages of 12 and 18 who meet the American Society of Addiction Medicine's criteria for Level I or Level II treatment placement. The Cullman RCT offers outpatient, intensive outpatient, and continuing care services. The service model is based on a blended therapeutic approach, drawing from four theoretical frameworks (Rogerian, behavioral, cognitive, and reality). The program emphasizes an individualized treatment plan that includes the family unit as well as the adolescent.

Referrals are accepted from the courts, school systems, parents, and other community agencies. A call to the RCT to schedule a time for screening and assessment is all that is required. Following the assessment, recommendations by the therapist to the client and his / her family of the appropriate level of care will be discussed. The Cullman RCT offers three service tracks. The client will be assigned to the least restrictive service track based on the clinical needs identified during the assessment. Each track incorporates treatment strategies and methods that have been demonstrated to be effective in helping people who are abusing drugs or alcohol. Having multiple tracks of service enables us to match clients to the most appropriate service level.

The three service tracks are:

Adolescent Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)):

This service track offers skill-building and counseling group services. Skill-building is offered in a group format and covers fourteen different topics weekly. Topics include relapse prevention, life skills, self-esteem, family issues, recovery lifestyle, and recreation/leisure. Assignment to the number and type of skill-building groups is based on an individualized Master Treatment Plan (MTP) for each adolescent. Each type of group is comprised of at least 12 different presentations that are 35-40 minutes long and repeat in a continuous cycle. Group counseling sessions provide an opportunity for adolescents to discuss personal issues in a group format. Adolescents are encouraged to focus on how they can effectively deal with problems and issues in their lives, with peers providing feedback and relating the issues discussed to their own personal experiences. Group counseling sessions occur weekly and are 35-40 minutes long.

Continuing Care):

The continuing care track provides aftercare support services for clients coming out of a residential program or as a step down from outpatient or intensive outpatient track. The focus of continuing care is the maintenance of the clients' recovery plan and the development of a positive support system. Continuing care services include individual therapy , group counseling, in home services and case management services.

All staff members who provide direct services to adolescents are licensed (e.g., LCPC, LMFT or LCSW), certified (e.g., Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), or working towards licensure or certification.
