Youth Detoxification/Stabilization Services

Intervention service for youth include detoxification and stablization.

With detoxification services, medical staff provide a safe and temporary environment for youth who have been excessively using alcohol and other drugs. Other services are available to help the youth stay free of drugs and alcohol.

Stabilization services may be provided if a young person does not need medical detoxification but may need to stay up to 14 days while waiting for an inpatient bed. A Juvenile Probation Counselor could also use this option in place of sending a youth to juvenile detention.

Detoxification and Stabilization Services are available to youth who are ages 13 to 17 if they are:

• using alcohol and other drugs
• experiencing shaking hands, throwing up, having trouble sitting still or sleeping due to the use of alcohol or other drugs
• in present danger to harm self or others due to alcohol and other drugs.

Youth either under the age 13 or over age 17 may be served, based on clinical need and availability of appropriate services.
