The Pulaski County / Somerset Day Treatment Center provides comprehensive counseling
services  for the students who are enrolled in the program. The goals of the counseling
program are to help students develop skills that will lead to success in school, family
functioning and community involvement. Each student has specific individualized treatment
goals that must be achieved prior to graduation from the program. To help students reach
these goals, counselors provide each student with four group sessions and one individual
session each week. Family therapy sessions may also be provided when needed to improve
family functioning. Counseling sessions focus on a variety of topic. Those topics include
drug education, conflict resolution, anger management, communication skills self-esteem
enhancement, and law related education.
Upon completion of therapeutic goals and graduation from the program, students return
to a regular school environment. Counselors at the Day Treatment Center help prepare the
students for the transition by developing an after care plan for each student.
