Youth Outpatient Treatment

Over the last 28 years, Consejo has taken the lead in providing outpatient chemical dependency treatment services to high-risk Latino youth living in Pierce and King Counties. Consejo’s services are tailored to monolingual, undocumented, uneducated, low-income, high-risk youth. These youth often come from a multi-generational family history of substance abuse. They also lack family- and community-based support systems necessary to overcome addictions successfully and often contribute to high rates of school dropout, truancy, low academic performance, and teen parenthood.

Consejo’s individually tailored treatment services include a comprehensive intake assessment, individual treatment sessions, group therapy sessions, case management, outreach, engagement, and family services. Consejo assists Latino youth by offering tutoring, recreational activities, nutrition, transportation, life-skills development, leadership development, and summer educational scholarships. Consejo provides a safe environment where youth can experience personal growth while tackling their addiction and promoting recovery. Consejo encourages family involvement throughout treatment and provides support services for the families of affected youth as well. Our counselors educate families on high-risk behaviors to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of chemical dependency and alcohol addictions.
