We are happy to announce that the Toward No Drug Abuse (TND) group has already started in Randolph County. We're currently doing the group at Elkins High School.
Toward No Drug Abuse is a 12 session evidence based group that is an effective drug abuse program that targets high school aged youth (14-19 years olds).
The group is very interactive and teaches increased coping and selt-control skills by making teens aware of misleading information that facilitates drug use.
Cambus Youth Treatment will be available soon.
Students will need to be enrolled at YHS and an intake appointment may be scheduled by calling Barb. We accept medicaid, CHIPS, private insurance and self pay clients. |

TND
- Motivates students not to use drugs
- To develop skills that help them bond to lower-risk environments
- To appreciate physical consequences of drug use
- To become aware of "stopping strategies" to reduce drug use
- Develop decision making skills to make a commitment not to use drugs
TND is recognized as a Model Program by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Outcomes of the group include:
- 27% reduction in cigarette use
- 22% reduction in marijuana use
- 9% reduction in high levels of alcohol use
- 26% reduction in hard drug use
(Alternative High Schools)
The 12 sessions are going to be completed in 6 weeks and will be from 3-5pm with pizza breaks.
We are pleased that Barry Row will be leading this group wih the assistance of Denise Fox. Barry has over 25 years of experience working with clients and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Denise has a degree in Community Psychology and has been working in the field for the past two years.
