` Right Choice Program Substmrce Abuse Council of Indian River County Indian River County CSAC <br /> C. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (Entire Section C, 1 — 6, not to exceed two pages) <br /> List Priority Needs area addressed. Mental Wellness Issues <br /> 1 . Briefly describe program activities including location of services. <br /> The Right Choice program is designed to engage and involve at-risk youth and their parents so they <br /> may gain the needed skills to resist the negative temptations associated with drugs and alcohol. The <br /> primary objectives are to help youth to abstain from negative peer pressures through prevention <br /> information and build resiliency skills. <br /> The overall goal is to decrease the impact and propensity for involvement in substance use and juvenile <br /> crime. We propose to deter a multitude of high-risk behaviors by providing a structured and positive <br /> environment, enhanced with information and positive alternative choices. <br /> In an effort to identify the elements of a strength-based approach to healthy development, the Search <br /> Institute developed the framework of developmental assets. This framework identifies 40 critical <br /> factors for young people' s growth and development. These risk and protective factors offer a set of <br /> benchmarks for positive child and adolescent development. The Right Choice program is designed to <br /> reduce the level of drug and alcohol use by youth and also address the issue concerning re-occurring <br /> drug and alcohol offenses. This will be accomplished by: <br /> 1 . The juvenile will report to the Substance Abuse Council' s office for program registration for the <br /> Right Choice program. During this intake, all pertinent information will be collected; a psycho- <br /> social assessment with a licensed mental health counselor will be scheduled, the youth will also be <br /> informed of their responsibilities for completion of the educational component, where to register for <br /> community service and the sanctions that will be imposed if any component of the program is not <br /> completed. <br /> 2. Registrants will be required to attend the 26-week educational component. The educational program <br /> utilizes the Adolescent Recovery Plan by Hazelden and consist of a four phase plan : <br /> • Accepting Responsibility • Getting the Stink <br /> • Getting Honest • Out of My Mind <br /> • The Cost of Drugs • Successful Relationships <br /> • The Disease of Addiction • The Miracle of Forgiveness <br /> • Deciding to Make Change • Preventing Relapse <br /> • Upward Pathways • Bridging the Gulf of Relapse <br /> • Learning to Trust Again • My Plan against Relapse <br /> • I'm Not Perfect, So What? • Getting Real About How I Feel <br /> • Making Important Changes <br /> 3 . Parents will be asked to attend the 5 -week Parent to Parent educational component of the program. <br /> This will consist of: <br /> • Getting Started : How to Prevent Drug Abuse in Your Family <br /> • Setting Guidelines: Developing Healthy Beliefs and Clear Standards <br /> • Avoiding Trouble: How to Say No to Drugs <br /> • Managing Conflict: How to Control and Express Anger <br /> Involving Everyone : How to Strengthen Family Bonds <br /> On the FYSA Survey (2004), Indian River County scored higher than the State and other like Counties <br /> in the following risk factors areas: <br /> • Poor Family Discipline • Early Initiation of Drug Use <br /> • Youth Attitude Favorable to ATOD use • Parental Attitude Favorable to Antisocial <br /> Behavior <br /> 6 <br />
