An intensive, family-centred day treatment program for adolescents, ages 13-18 years, who are dealing with mental health and / or substance use issues. Program consists of therapeutic groups, individual and family therapy, and educational instruction provided by Calgary Board of Education (CBE).

The Adolescent Day Treatment Program (ADTP) is a specialized mental health and substance use day treatment program that operates from a family-centred perspective. ADTP is comprehensive, voluntary, and change-oriented. Adolescents attend a daily program consisting of therapeutic groups, individual and family therapy, and classroom instruction. Programming is customized according to each youth's individual needs, goals, and readiness for change.
