Individualized Drug Counseling

Individualized drug counseling does more than focus on reducing or stopping illicit drug or alcohol use. Drug counseling also addresses related areas of impaired functioning such as employment status, illegal activity and family or social. By emphasizing short term behavioral goals, individualized counseling helps the patient develop coping strategies and tools to abstain from drug use and maintain abstinence. The addiction counselor encourages 12-step participation at least one or two times per week and refer the patient to experts who can provide supplemental medical, psychiatric, employment and other services.

Encourage Daily Physical Activity

Like adults, kids need daily physical activity. Here are some ways to help kids move every day:
Set a good example. If a child sees an adult that is physically active and that it is fun while doing, he or she is more likely to be active throughout life.
Encourage children to join a sports team or class, such as soccer, dance, basketball or gymnastics at school or at a local community or recreation center.
