Our mission is to enhance and enrich the quality of life of Los Angeles County residents by: providing alcohol and drug prevention, treatment and recovery services; supporting youth leadership and development; providing child and family services, housing referrals; and participation in collaborative activities with other health and human service providers and institutions.

Philosophy

We operate on a humanistic and psychosocial philosophy. The goal of our program is to facilitate the growth of our clients/participants and enhance their capacities for self expression, understanding and integrity. This is attained through the clients/participants' own awareness and assessment of her/his needs, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and acceptances of one's self. This is also attained by changing those environmental factors which impede or interfere with the progress of growth and self-fulfillment. All of these are accomplished by taking responsibility of our actions and feelings, and making the kind of life we want for ourselves regardless of challenges and barriers.

Treatment Modality

Cognitive/Behavioral with flexibility to accomodate other intervention theories and practices to fit individual treatment and recovery needs. Behavioral approach comes into effect when we change the environmental factors that interfere with the process of growth and self-acceptance.
