Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Dallas Challenge is dedicated to helping young people mature into responsible members of the community by providing them and their families with culturally sensitive, easily accessible outpatient drug education, prevention, intervention and treatment. The Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment program, in addition to providing treatment, addresses a wide variety of related behavioral problems including gang activity, low academic performance, unhealthy family dynamics and other issues that may impact the youth's healthy childhood development in order to provide a more thorough, permanent solution. Focused treatment services are combined with after-school programming, family services and aftercare education to ensure a successful transition from treatment to adolescent and adult life.

• Chemical assessments

Dallas Challenge is a licensed Level III and Level IV Outpatient Adolescent Treatment Facility through the Texas Department of State Health Services.
