The Family Guidance Center has a new program aimed at youth dealing with substance use disorders.

“We understand the devastating effects of substance use disorders,” the Family Guidance Center’s website reads. “We understand it’s a medical condition, a disease that worsens over time, hurting both the person directly, family members and other important relationships. We also know that with appropriate treatment and assistance, a healthy, happy, productive life is within the reach.”

The program is designed for kids ages 12 to 17 and includes individual and group and family therapies, support and medication assisted treatment.

For information about the program, call 816-364-1501 or visit the Family Guidance Center’s website at fgcnow.org.
