Straight & Narrow provides residential substance abuse treatment to adolescent males between the ages of 12 and 18.
The length of treatment is typically six months, but may be longer than that based on the client's individual treatment needs. All clients
who enter the adolescent program are linked to supportive aftercare and follow-up services before they leave Straight & Narrow.
The adolescents who come to Straight & Narrow have experienced problems at home, in school and frequently with the juvenile justice system.
Our goal is to provide them with age-appropriate structure and treatment in a consistent and caring environment in which individual strengths
and potentials are identified and developed. This is supported by a full academic program, and extra-curricular activities.
Treatment services include individual, group and didactic sessions that focus on substance abuse and related topics such as anger management, gang
membership, HIV and health issues. Additional services include urine monitoring and onsite medical and psychiatric treatment.
Straight & Narrow views recreational and leisure time activities as vital to the well-adjusted adolescent and adult. The treatment staff seeks to
develop those interests, skills and hobbies that will provide satisfaction throughout the client’s life by introducing activities that include a
full array of dynamic sports as well as picnics, excursions to plays, museums and sporting events.
