Promesa Youth Facility
About Promesa Youth Facility
Promesa Youth Facility is a residential substance use treatment program in the South Bronx, New York that offers intensive chemical dependency care for young men ages 14 to 20.
The program provides both short term and long term residential treatment along with counseling, education and recovery support services.
Operated by Acacia Network, I appreciate how Promesa delivers integrated, culturally responsive and trauma informed care in both English and Spanish.
Cultivating Life Skills and Relationships
Treatment begins with a pre-admission screening to determine eligibility, followed by placement in either short term or long term intensive residential treatment. Care is personalized to meet each young person's clinical and developmental needs.
I want to note that residents can expect counseling guided by a dialectical behavior therapy based Promesa Phase System that helps participants manage emotions, relationships and life challenges.
Integrated primary care and psychiatric services support people with mental health needs, while discharge planning and community living skills development prepare youth for lasting recovery.
