Residential - DATA operates two adolescent residential substance use treatment centers: Walter D. Kelly Center (West Palm Beach) and Norman C. Hayslip Center (Fort Pierce). Admission is determined in part by meeting placement criteria as defined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. The program consists of three interrelated components: therapeutic, behavioral, and academic. The therapeutic component consists of participation in evidence-based individual, family, and group therapy that addresses issues identified in the client's collaboratively developed strengths-based treatment plan. The behavioral component consists of a level system that rewards positive behaviors. Clients must also progress academically by participating in our onsite school provided by local school districts. Successful completion of the program is determined by achieving goals/objectives on their treatment plan, abstinence from substances, and achieving maximum benefit. DATA served 130 youth during the fiscal year with an average success rate of 81%.
Prevention - DATA provided evidence-based prevention programs (Project SUCCESS) in middle and high schools throughout Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties. This program uses interventions that are effective in reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors. Services include individual/family/group counseling (indicated), a prevention education series and parent groups (universal direct), and environmental awareness activities (universal indirect). During the fiscal year 405 youth participated in individual counseling with an average success rate of 99%. Additionally, over 4,000 youth participated in the prevention education series.
