Our Place Drug and Alcohol Education Services Inc

Our Place Drug and Alcohol provides outpatient programs designed specifically for adolescents struggling with substance abuse. Unlike recovery centers that treat multiple age groups together, this facility focuses exclusively on teenage clients, understanding that young people face distinct challenges in addiction treatment and recovery.

The outpatient program structure allows teens to continue their education while participating in regular treatment sessions. This approach helps adolescents develop recovery skills they can immediately practice in their school and home environments, building a foundation for long-term sobriety within their existing support systems.

Treatment programming incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the primary therapeutic method, helping adolescents identify triggers and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT proves particularly effective for young people because it teaches practical skills for managing stress, peer pressure, and emotional challenges without turning to substances.

The clinical team, led by Director of Clinical Services Donnie Willis, works with teens to recognize thought patterns that contribute to substance use and develop alternative responses. This skills-based approach prepares adolescents for the ongoing challenges they'll face throughout their recovery journey.

Beyond direct treatment, Our Place operates comprehensive prevention programs staffed by dedicated prevention specialists and educators. Jessica Johnson serves as Prevention Specialist, while Marcus Gresham, Amanda Aich, and Cristine Powell work as Prevention Educators, focusing on substance abuse education before addiction develops.

The prevention team includes specialized roles like Drug Free Communities Coordinator Rhonda Alstott, who works to create community-wide approaches to reducing teen substance use. This prevention focus demonstrates the center's commitment to addressing substance abuse at multiple intervention points throughout the recovery community.

Our Place removes financial barriers to teen addiction treatment through sliding scale fees and financial assistance programs. Many families struggle to afford addiction treatment for their adolescents, and these payment options ensure that cost doesn't prevent young people from accessing necessary care.

The facility accepts self-pay arrangements and works directly with families to determine appropriate fee structures based on financial circumstances. This community-oriented approach reflects the center's nearly four-decade commitment to serving Floyd County and surrounding areas regardless of families' ability to pay full treatment costs.
