Substance Abuse Alternatives (SAA) Program
Alternative Structured Program to Promote Individual Responsibility and Education (ASPIRE)
SAA and ASPIRE are mandated alternative sentencing programs for adolescents and young adults cited for underage drinking or other offenses involving alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs.
Our programs provide substance abuse education and counseling on the social, legal and personal consequences of drug and alcohol experimentation and use in an effective yet stress-free atmosphere
We also explore other areas involving risk-taking, decision-making skills, and personal responsibility via the use of evidence-based programs specifically designed for teens and young adults.
SAA programs typically involve a peer-group environment while ASPIRE involves one-on-one counseling.
