Comprehensive treatment, delivered with the utmost care.

The Center for Living is dedicated to one purpose: helping youth and families work through the web of problems caused by adolescent use and abuse of addictive substances, both legal and illegal.

Endowed by the Annenberg Foundation, we offer a unique abstinence-based treatment program developed by experienced substance abuse treatment professionals who understand the adolescent mind and their behavioral patterns. We focus on the needs of teens who begin and continue to use addictive substances in response to the daily pressures of adolescence and urban and suburban life. We emphasize the importance of addressing problems as soon as they come to light.

At the Center, we understand substance use touches more than one area of a teen's life. It affects the whole person physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our comprehensive, specialized treatment addresses all the areas of a teen's life, such as family, self, school and the social environment.

We support the use of an innovative 12-step philosophy to help teens and their families become healthy and productive again. Our caring, experienced clinical staff and primary therapists provide a great deal of personal support, guidance and respect so lives can be made whole again.
