EDUCATIONAL SERVICES Comprehensive Educational Assessment and Individualized Education Plan All residents of ECHO are provided with a comprehensive educational assessment within forty-eight hours of admission. This provides the clinical team and classroom teacher with important information needed to design an educational program specific to the academic needs of each participant. Frequently youth come to us behind in their academic careers as a result of their drug or alcohol use. With the development and implementation of an individualized educational plan, many participants return to their schools having caught up or even passed their peers in their studies. On Site Classroom ECHO provides an on site therapeutic classroom for all participants. This affords youth the opportunity to get and/or stay current in their academic studies in a safe, sober environment. Participants are offered opportunities to accelerate their studies so that short and long term academic goals may be met. Individualized Tutoring The University of California Los Angeles provides tutors to work one on one with students in any academic area in which the student is struggling. Tutors strive to make the subject matter fun and interesting. Frequently students begin to look forward to subjects which they once avoided.

PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL SERVICES A key component to impacting youth drug and alcohol addiction is the clear, and honest, provision of information. Psycho-Educational sessions are designed to share useful information that is applicable to the lives of youth. Our psycho-educational component is not designed to scare youth straight. Rather, we believe that, given the proper facts and information about what the disease of addiction is, how is begins, how is develops, how it effects individuals biologically and psychologically, and how to break free from its grip, youth will begin to see the advantages of making changes in their lives. This internal motivation is a key to achieving and maintaining sobriety. Some of the educational session topics include: Relapse Prevention This topic, so vital to the recovery process, includes detailed exploration of the most common relapse triggers and ways to avoid them; the multi-stage process of relapse and how to identify relapse red-flags that often manifest long before the actual relapse occurs. The sessions also include ways of coping with each trigger at each stage in order to prevent reoccurrences of use. Medical Aspects of Addiction and Recovery Educational sessions are presented to both youth and parents on the physical and medical impact that drugs and alcohol have on the body. All include details of the neurological impact on the brain and body, as well as the most current information from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
These sessions are designed to evoke awareness
of the impact that the disease of addiction has on the entire family
dynamic, and how changing that dynamic is an important piece of
promoting sobriety. Learning to identify and communicate different emotional states is often difficult and foreign to people who use drugs and alcohol. The early recovery process must include attention to this aspect of the condition as anger, frustration, shame, guilt, fear and other strong emotions can lead to relapse.
