MIP SCHOOL PROGRAM

Welcome to BAEC’s ‘MIP School.’ We hope this will be a rewarding and useful learning experience for you. You have been referred here because there is evidence that you may have a problem with drinking or other drug use.

The goals of this course are:

To help you gain a realistic and scientifically consistent understanding and recognition of alcohol and drug problems.

To help you meaningfully evaluate your drinking and drug use, its attractions, benefits, intoxication dynamics, effects, risks and consequences.

To help you develop a plan for ongoing assessment of your drinking and drug use and to learn and begin to take steps to change your use so as to absolutely avoid further unwanted problems, consequences and negative effects.

What is the Program:

The Program consists of an individual intake followed by 12 weekly small groups, 1.5 hours each, conducted by an experienced, State-Licensed therapist with expertise with young people’s substance abuse.
