Tarzana Treatment Centers Youth Services supports prevention, early intervention, and treatment for young people and their families
By bringing professional clinical expertise directly into the educational environment, TTC is working to eliminate primary obstacles such as transportation, scheduling conflicts, and social stigma. These challenges often prevent families from seeking necessary help for their children.
By delivering substance use disorder education and individualized support in the same setting, the program helps remove barriers to care, build trust, and offer a clear pathway to healing. This collaboration reflects a shared belief that early, accessible intervention and prevention can truly transform lives.
A Pioneering Model for School-Based Wellness
The program ensures that clinical interventions are seamlessly integrated into students’ academic lives. This high level of coordination allows educators and TTC recovery professionals to work in tandem, creating a holistic safety net for at-risk youth. By offering comprehensive services for families as well, the program adopts a holistic solution to an ongoing challenge.
The services provided by TTC are full-scope, addressing the complexities of substance use from multiple angles. For families, this means a one-stop resource for intervention. As a leader in providing youth SUD prevention and treatment services in Los Angeles County, TTC brings its expertise and experience on-site in a valuable partnership with LAUSD.
The on-site programming includes:
1) Evidence-Based Group Counseling
Sessions cover topics ranging from developing healthy coping skills and relationships to addiction education.
2) Individualized Clinical Support
One-on-one counseling tailored to each student’s specific treatment goals and history.
3) Care Coordination and Community Linkage
Ensuring that students and families are connected to additional resources, medical services, or higher levels of care when necessary.
4) Collateral Family Support
Engaging parents, guardians, and stakeholders to empower them with the tools needed to support a recovery-positive environment at home.
Supporting Prevention and Treatment Services
By addressing a critical gap in the continuum of care for adolescents in Los Angeles, this program can make a positive difference. This approach to SUD services enables early intervention. From a holistic perspective, proactive efforts can help prevent long-term dependence while improving overall academic and social performance.
