I am impressed by the two ways the client’s program is managed through case management and a clinical program. On one hand, you have the clinical side. Clinical staff members provide drug education and teach skills to avoid a life of self-abuse. Mr. Martinez explained to me, “The Clinical Program is organized by different groups. You might think of these groups just as you would think of a school group or a vocational training program.” The clinical program is organized in much the same way, with the different components structured to focus on the various aspects that are essential to recovery. I understand how this approach would be beneficial for success in a recovery program. The case management side, also known as House staff, handles all the other aspects of the therapeutic community from job assignments, personal supplies needed, schedule of meetings, ext. This allows the clinical counselors devotion of their energies solely for the actual substance abuse treatment and allows the case manager to concentrate on the core living needs of the client. The fact that the clinical staff does not divulge personal information to the House staff the client has chosen to share either individually or in groups is of the utmost importance in my opinion. Only in matters of discipline, then broad aspects may be shared, or when the client is

Both Project SUCCESS with Prevention Education Series and Teen Intervene work to decrease the possibility of children using and abusing alcohol and other drugs from a young age. However, Project SUCCESS with the Prevention Education Series operates as an eight-session awareness program in conjunction with the long-standing education and mentoring that the children are already exposed to (NREPP Project SUCCESS, 2018). Teen Intervene is a three-session program which works to with counselors to assist children who are at high risk or already involved with drugs and other abusive substances (NREPP Teen Intervene, 2018). These sessions are an hour long and at minimum ten days apart which equates to about a month-long program. While Project SUCCESS does not explicitly state the amount of time each session is or how frequent the sessions follow each other, it appears that students in Project SUCCESS receive more reinforcement of the content being presented than students in Teen Intervene. Also, Project SUCCESS is distinct from Teen Intervene because it has a foundational program which stimulates children to pursue their life-long dreams and desires outside of drug education (Project SUCCESS, 2018). This gives the personnel educating the children rapport which could be beneficial in guiding towards making healthy

As a teen counselor in Arlington, TX, I know that alcohol and drug abuse are almost an epidemic among teenagers and, often, parents feel helpless to do anything. As a parent myself, I understand the need to want to jump in and solve the problem; but with drug and alcohol abuse, it oftens takes more than just a parent’s love and understanding to help a child climb out of the hole of addiction. Teen counseling in Arlington, TX administered by an experienced counselor is one of the most important steps a parent can take. The first step to take, though, is to look for the signs and symptoms of drug or alcohol abuse.
