Treatment
At Three Springs of North Carolina, focus is placed on the “here and now” issues of the child’s life, helping the child to understand proper roles and boundaries that exist in everyone’s life. Residents participate in the positive peer culture away from the distractions of the home environment, and learn about themselves by working through a Stage System. A multi-disciplinary team that includes a consulting Psychiatrist, Registered Nurse, Therapists, Counselors, Teachers and an Activity Specialist, creates and manages each resident’s individualized treatment plan.
While the group process is seen as the primary therapeutic intervention necessary to achieve lasting change, Three Springs of North Carolina recognizes the need for additional therapeutic efforts and utilizes them as part of its comprehensive treatment program. Each resident lives with and participates in a small group setting in which the resident’s personal issues are shared and discussed on a daily basis. Family conferences are conducted monthly 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 on an “as needed” basis. Each resident receives Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness education in order to address various issues related to this topic.
At our program residents are confronted with concrete, immediate challenges and expectations through reality-based counseling, group process, experiential education, and specialized support treatment and educational services. All of these activities occur in a rustic and protected environment. Residents find they are able to overcome many of their problems, compensate for their weakness, and return to their communities successfully. It is this commitment to that ultimate outcome which encourages us to constantly improve our services and mandates that we never settle for less than excellence in the design and operation of our residential treatment program.
