Treatment Processes
China Spring Youth Camp (CSYC) and Aurora Pines Girls Facility (APGF) operates as a Level l out patient and Level II.I intensive outpatient program for both male and female adjudicated adolescents. The agency serves sixteen of the seventeen counties in Nevada. The treatment process involves promptly engaging the resident upon their arrival to CSYC/APGF. Any crisis intervention is immediate. Removing treatment barriers as soon as possible and moving the resident directly into a continuum of services is a primary goal. On sight assessments allow CSYC/APGF to identify the resident’s immediate needs according to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, PPC 2R criteria, make arrangements as needed for referrals and begin to develop a treatment plan.
Descriptions of the Levels of care are as follows:
Level I encompass organized outpatient treatment
services in either individual or group settings. Addiction
treatment staff are licensed by the State of Nevada who
provide a professionally directed evaluation, treatment and
recovery services. Such services are provided in
regularly scheduled sessions of no less than one contact
hour a week. Level I treatment addresses major lifestyle, attitudinal and behavioral issues that have the potential
to undermine the goals of treatment or to impair the individual’s ability to cope with major life tasks without the use of alcohol or other drugs.
Level II.I Intensive Out Patient (IOP) provides at least six contact hours a week. It is a structured program, consisting primarily of counseling and education about substance-related and mental health problems. A comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment is taken and an individualized treatment plan is developed with each resident. Such plans include problem formulation, treatment goals and measurable treatment objective.
