Adolescent Substance Abuse Program Phoenix

The care, support, and resources provided by the ASAP staff to both my child and our family was exceptional. Expectations for the program were clear, meetings were beneficial, and while a humbling experience, it is one we could not have gone without. Previous programs that we tried did not provide anywhere near the level of support ASAP did. They took an interest in our child and his story, truly caring to help him get clean and wanting to lead a sober life. We can’t thank them enough for everything. Not how we imagined spending our summer, but thankful they were there for us!

Aurora Behavioral and the adolescent communities thank ASAP for the years of having such a robust Intensive Outpatient Program for adolescents and providing support for their families. Your team has been a critical partner with Aurora and setting up adolescents for their success. We value our continued partnership and look forward to serving those in need. Thank you, ASAP, for all you do!

The staff that ran ASAP made all the difference in my daughter's experience with the group. Dr. Davis, Carrie, Heidi, and Reiss were all absolutely amazing, and very knowledgeable. The weekly content was informative and well structured, and helped us all grow - both teens and parents alike. Thank you, ASAP.

ASAP made a profound and transformational impact on our teenage son and family. In a time when drug use is increasingly normalized, the technology makes it hard to detect, and there is deliberate and targeted misinformation and marketing to young people who do not realize the harmful effects until their brains have become addicted, this type of program is essential for restoring the brain's ability to produce its own dopamine while digging into the science, communication and thinking patterns, and negative consequences that inevitably result from substance use in the adolescent years. We are forever grateful for the critical 10 weeks of the program. We have our son back with his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual potential intact and a future full of corresponding possibilities. We know how widespread drug and alcohol use is amongst the teenagers all around us. More families should know about ASAP as one option that can make a real different. They accept most major insurances, too, so the cost wasn't overwhelming for an outcome that is priceless.

Words can not describe the gratitude I have for ASAP! I had the privilege of working as the lead therapist at the PV site location for seven years and witnessed the transformations of countless teens and their parents as they went through the 10 week program for substance abuse. This program works because of the collaborative type of approach with the therapists, teens and families working together for change. Drug and alcohol use by teenagers is a serious problem and ASAP meets the teen wherever they are and begins to help them address their needs and guides them in their journey to sobriety. Many times parents don't know where to turn when they discover their teen has a drug/alcohol problem. Picking up the phone and calling ASAP is the first step in getting help and support.

We are celebrating over 406 days of sobriety here! All thanks to Dr Walling, Dr Davis and the amazing staff. Not only did this program educate my son on his addiction it gave me tools as well. It’s an intensive program that addresses a lot of the underlying issues for abuse. I’m forever indebted to ASAP for giving me my son back! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This program literally saved my daughter's life. She was going down a dark and dangerous life path and both my husband and I felt helpless to change her trajectory. This program gave her the ability to identify what happened and also gave us therapy as a family to help deal with her issues in a way that was caring but firm and finally to re-direct her to a better life path. As a family, we had a lot to work on but they gave us the necessary tools to work hard at them and to identify areas where we could do better to help our daughter get better and to work out our own family dynamics. Thank you so so much!

Update: My daughter is still doing well! She is now doing her freshman year at UofA.dorming. I NEVER thought I would ever say that. She's still on her meds, she still sees a therapists when she needs to and she is still a young person learning to cope as a young adult but.her focus is more positive and drugs and alcohol doesn't drive her like it used to. Thank you so much ASAP!

I had the privilege of working with ASAP at the PV and WEST Location. Unfortunately, I can't say much due to confidentiality yet I can say that my experience at ASAP will be with me forever. The program was as challenging for me as it was for the teens. There were often times we laughed and cried, talked and were silent, learned from each other and taught each other. That was just with the teens. The staff are wonderful in their own ways to the point that I could easily write a page about the interactions of each individual that I was blessed to learn from during my time at ASAP. To the families considering ASAP in their pursuit of finding answers to their teen's substance use problems, many families were unsure if this is was what they needed. Many attended the program, some completed, some quiet, some graduated, some had to come through more than once and some did not live long enough to do any of the above. Substance use is a family problem, not an individual problem. The families who took the program seriously, went through and completed/graduated came to understand the meaning behind that statement very well. The families who were in as much denial as the children, who did not stay to complete the program and/or left early (whether it was because they believed their teen had their substance use under control or their teen did not need this level of care) never understood nor learned the meaning of this statement. I pray you learn the meaning of that statement.
