Addiction Services Program
Drug and alcohol problems can affect anyone, including young people and their families. At Akron Children's, we understand how hard these challenges can be. Our Addiction Services program offers caring, complete treatment for kids and teens up to age 18. We're here to help with recovery and support for patients and their families every step of the way.
Our services include:
- Medication to help with withdrawal.
- Drug testing.
- Counseling for patients and their families.
- Intensive outpatient treatment.
- Education for children and parents about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and prescription medicines.
- Early detection and prevention programs at schools and doctors’ offices.
- Partnerships with other northeast Ohio organizations to provide education, treatment and support for families.
- Support for people of all backgrounds – from babies born to mothers who used drugs to kids and teens who try marijuana, alcohol or prescription pills.
