Next Step

Parrott Creek Next Step residential program provides co-occurring services for male-identifying youth ages 13-18 who meet 3.1 and 3.5 ASAM criteria.

Next Step’s Clinical team will provide a comprehensive co-occurring assessment and will develop a treatment plan that will dictate the treatment needs and allow the program to individualize treatment for each youth.

All staff will use a trauma informed approach when working with each youth. Staff will work to understand how the youth’s past experiences impact the way they interact with the world. Understanding which underlying issues are contributing to their substance use and how their mental health needs are impacting their lives will guide their treatment, case management, and transition planning.  

The program understands that different youth will have varying needs and will have different visions of recovery for themselves. We recognize that culture, identity, community, heritage, ethnicity, race, ability and many other factors influence and shape a person’s needs, goals and definition of recovery and success. The program will include staff who have lived experience in recovery and who can provide their perspectives and appropriately share their experience to help the youth work towards making healthy changes. 

Treatment will involve providing psychoeducation around substance use, building emotional regulation skills, addressing underlying mental health concerns, and increasing communal recovery support. The treatment staff will provide individual, group, and family therapy depending on each youth’s treatment plan and needs.
