person-centered youth Peer Advocates
LSA Recovery, Inc. is an 822 Medically Supervised Outpatient Chemical Dependency Program, which provides a variety of services to individuals as well as family members seeking help with substance abuse and chemical dependence problems*__ We believe that chemical dependence treatment requires a detailed knowledge of the history and personality of each patient. This is accomplished by professional and knowledgeable staff that will conduct a complete and thorough interview with the patient and his/her family, as well as contact with their primary care physician. The data is then evaluated by various professional staff members in order to develop a personalized treatment plan. We organize the plan of care to enable the patient to proceed through the recovery process with a support network, increase their self-esteem, and understand the effects of chemical dependence.
