The Basics
Located in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Muskogee County Council of Youth Services serves the local community with substance abuse and mental health treatment for adolescents. Created in 1973, this state-funded outpatient based facility offers sliding fee scales for those with financial difficulties. Rooted in the 12 steps, the programs provide youth with structured care and therapeutic support. Through a mixture of individual, family and group therapy, clients can learn how to live a sober life.
Treatment and Staff
Before treatment begins, clients undergo an initial evaluation to determine the type of care needed. While services for substance abuse are available on an outpatient basis only, referrals can be made for those who need residential treatment or detox.
Recovery at Muskogee County Council is rooted in the philosophies of the 12 steps. The Substance Abuse Services Program provides a variety of counseling and education services, as well as evaluations and assessments focusing on alcohol or drug issues. Group, family and individual therapy is available. Group topics include relapse prevention, communication, coping skills and discussion of the 12 steps. Treatment is geared to enhance both family living and social skills, while gaining healthy coping tools. The length and intensity of the treatment services depend on the individual’s needs.
The staff includes LADCs and LCSWs.
Extras

CARS is an outpatient program for youth who are in trouble with the law, while the drug court program offers court-supervised, comprehensive services for non-violent defendants with substance abuse issues.
