Substance Use - Prevention and Early Intervention
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
At Child Focus, we recognize the importance of identifying symptoms of substance use disorders (SUD) as early as possible. We offer a wide range of services including prevention, screening and treatment. Substance use disorders affect the individual, families and communities. As a result, substance use symptoms and disorders are addressed in the context of individual lives, family systems, and community partnerships. Child Focus Behavioral Health services assist individuals with developing strengths to manage and reduce symptoms of substance use disorders. The critical tasks of substance use disorder treatment include developing healthy relationships, increasing behavioral functioning and managing emotions. Together, these positively change the outcomes for individuals, families and our communities by increasing the likelihood of living a more satisfying life and creating a path to wellness.
Our Accreditation
Child Focus’ substance use disorder programs are certified by Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) and accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Child Focus contracts with the Clermont County Mental Health & Recovery Board and Brown County Mental Health & Addiction Services Board.
