At ASAP, we want families to understand one clear fact: teens’ brains are still developing, and the new high‑potency THC va**ng poses unique and lasting risks to that development. Teen brains are more vulnerable to addiction and cognitive harm than adult brains — and those effects can interfere with learning, memory, and emotional regulation. We treat these risks directly in our ASAP IOP program, and we help parents intervene early, and powerfully.

Arizona's Best Teen Drug Treatment
phone open Mon-Fri, 9am to 9pm

The Adolescent Substance Abuse Program (commonly known as "ASAP") has proudly proven itself Arizona's finest outpatient counseling program for young people ages 12-18 involved with drugs and alcohol since 1991.

ASAP is a 10-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) designed specifically for the treatment of substance use disorders in youth ages 12-18. Group therapy is the primary treatment modality-- group therapy has long proven the most effective technique with teen substance use. At ASAP the teens attend group therapy three nights per week for 10 weeks, for a total of 30 group therapy sessions, and their parents also get help when they attend one of those sessions each week with their teen, at Parent Night. Drug testing is utilized as a critical tool to verify that teens are no longer using addictive substances.

Please be advised that ASAP is specialty facility. ASAP is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) facility for counseling only, we are not an inpatient facility, or a residential treatment facility, or a detox facility.

In 2021 ASAP proudly celebrated its 30th year. All ASAP programming is based on evidence-based, "best practices" interventions. Designed by three Phoenix-area psychologists, Dr. Phil Lett, Dr. Mark Rohde and Dr. Curtis Walling, the ASAP IOP Program pursues the "real-world" changes in home, family, peer, and school environments that yield lasting sobriety and a vastly improved quality of life for the entire family. The goal of the ASAP IOP Program is to help teens and families re-establish a sober, safe, and mutually supportive relationship. At ASAP we are proud of our long history of treatment success -- we invite the reader to click on the "Free Resources" page to view more than 100 powerful testimonials hand-written by former ASAP parents and teens.

In the ASAP program active participation is required of both adolescents and their parents. Treatment includes comprehensive admission evaluation, drug education, coping skills training, emotional processing, group therapy, multifamily therapy, and drug testing. An eclectic treatment model and a diverse staff are utilized to approach adolescents from many angles. The ASAP Handbook and FAQ's orient adolescents and their parents to the ASAP program. The ASAP Curriculum is utilized as an effective teaching tool at all sites, and the ASAP Teen and Parent Homework handouts are utilized for growth-oriented homework assignments. Parents are taught techniques for drug testing at home that can serve as the best deterrent of ongoing drug use. Outcome studies and satisfaction surveys are conducted to measure treatment success and provide the feedback necessary for continuous quality improvement. All ASAP treatment is evidence-based and follows "best practices". No smoking is ever allowed at ASAP, and strict adherence to the highest ethical standards is maintained. You will find our ASAP website easy to use-- we believe the simplest website is best. ASAP is proudly committed to changing the lives of teens and families!
