Long-running (stated "over 20 years" in Arizona; "over 30 years" org-wide), family-owned outpatient program for teens and young adults (ages 13-25) built on the "Enthusiastic Sobriety" alternative-peer-group model that pairs intensive outpatient treatment (IOP sessions "4 hours in length, 5 days per week") with sober social activities, 12-step meetings, and weekly parent support groups.

How this Directory compares

How to read this record

Sources and dates
Sources carry their own dates. “Record researched” dates the profile research record; it does not mean every detail was checked that day. Details not shown here may still need research. Confirm them with the program.
Public record
Where a check has run, the record lists what state licensing agencies, inspections and federal exclusion lists show, each with its date and source. “Public record: not yet checked” marks a gap in the research. It tells you nothing either way about the program.
Youth residential programs
Residential and inpatient programs for young people may show a license or state-record entry when available, or “License not yet checked.” A research date is not a license-check date.
Allegations
A filed lawsuit or a news investigation about patient safety appears only in one fixed, dated form with its source, ending “This is an allegation, not a finding.” No program is removed from search on an allegation alone.
Location
Protected residences show city only when available; street address and map pin stay withheld to protect residents. Other profiles may show a public map point based on available location data. A missing pin means the Directory could not confirm a sufficiently precise location in published data, not a judgment about the program. Confirm the destination with the program before visiting.
Before you refer
Call the program and confirm openings, intake hours, insurance and eligibility directly. The Directory is not a referral service and does not recommend programs.

Not a rating. A record. Results are listed by name, never ranked, and nobody can pay for placement. Coverage is uneven, so a missing program or an empty field says nothing about care.
