About the Program

Discover The Up Center’s New Visions program, a program tailored to youth to actively engage in their communicates while acquiring essential life skills to confront and prevent substance use disorders for youth in Hampton Roads. Our program focus extends to the broader spectrum of a youth’s “community,” encompassing family, friends, work, school, other organizations, and extracurricular activities.

Experience the evidence-based Adolescent-Community Reinforcement Approach through our weekly outpatient or community-based treatment. Paired with this effective approach is the support of a dedicated Family Support Partner, ready to provide family-based support for youth in Hampton Roads dealing with addiction. They assist in navigating systems and resources, and collaborate with families to create and implement a wellness plan that addresses health, mental well-being, and overall family functioning.
