Treatment
Treatment at Three Springs Englishton Park focuses on the “here and now” issues of your child’s life, helping him understand proper roles and boundaries that exist in everyone’s life.
Residents at Englishton Park participate in Positive Peer Culture, away from the distractions of the home environment, and learn about themselves by working through a Level System. A multi-disciplinary team including a consulting psychiatrist, psychologist, therapists, group leaders and teachers, creates and manages each resident’s individualized treatment plan.
The foundation of the Englishton Park therapeutically-based educational environment is Positive Peer Culture. The premise of Positive Peer Culture (PPC) is that each young man entering the program needs help in learning responsible thinking and behavior. While this occurs through the involvement of both staff and residents, the youths are seen as the most critical component in the process because of their ability to influence each other. PPC teaches adolescents through a comprehensive approach, to develop responsible thinking and behavior by helping one another. PPC does not ask whether a person wants to receive help, but whether he is willing to give help. It is about helping yourself by helping others.
While the group process is seen as the primary therapeutic intervention necessary to achieve lasting change, Englishton Park recognizes the need for additional therapeutic efforts and utilizes them as part of its comprehensive treatment program. Each resident receives group counseling sessions daily. Family conferences are conducted monthly, or as needed, in order to address issues related to the home environment. These may be telephone conferences or conferences on-site, depending on the needs of the family. Individual counseling is conducted once weekly. Each resident receives addictions awareness education in order to address various issues related to this topic.
At Three Springs Englishton Park, residents are confronted with concrete, immediate challenges and expectations through reality-based counseling, group process, experiential education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and specialized support treatment and educational services. All of these activities occur within a nurturing and protected environment. Residents find they are able to overcome many of their problems, compensate for their weakness, and return to their communities successfully.
