Looking Glass Counseling Program Provides Crucial Addiction Support Services

Looking Glass has several experienced certified alcohol and drug counselors (CADC) working within the Counseling Program who assist youth between the ages of 13 and 24 with assessment and outpatient treatment programs tailored to the needs of each youth client. These CADCs do an initial assessment to determine the level of need and develop individualized treatment goals. Most commonly, services involve weekly sessions focusing on harm reduction, identifying triggers, and helping navigate social environments which can often be difficult for young people to handle on their own. The Looking Glass Counseling Program has immediate openings to provide these services.

Laundry services are so crucial to the unhoused youth served at New Roads - most youth come in only with the clothes on their backs and all donated clothing needs to be washed before clients can use it.
