GRC provides adolescents with a safe, structured, and supportive environment where they can begin their recovery journey, develop healthy coping skills, discover their personal identity, strengthen family relationships, and establish a foundation for sustained wellness. Through multi-dimensional growth, and the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and other support groups, youth are empowered to build a meaningful life free from alcohol and drugs.
The vision of this program is to inspire adolescents to embrace recovery, discover who they are beyond addiction, and develop a lifelong sense of purpose, connection, and spiritual wellness.
Recovery is more than abstinence from substances—it is a process of healing the mind, body, and spirit. Adolescence is a critical time for identity development, and many young people entering treatment have lost sight of who they are or have come to define themselves by their addiction, trauma, or mistakes.
GRC believes every adolescent possesses inherent worth and the capacity for change. Through evidence-based treatment, family involvement, peer support, and the spiritual principles found in AA and NA, youth can develop honesty, humility, accountability, and hope while discovering their values, strengths, and purpose. Spirituality is approached in an inclusive manner that encourages connection, meaning, gratitude, and personal growth rather than adherence to any specific religion.
Rutter House for Adolescents, our newly renovated residential treatment facility designed specifically for ages 13-18, is dedicated to helping teens recover from substance use, discover their authentic identity, and cultivate a sense of purpose and belonging.Â
Located in the Tom Rutter House in Center Township, this modernized space features 12 beds and is inclusive of all genders, offering a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. Our program is built to provide comprehensive, evidence-based therapy in a setting that fosters healing, personal growth, and long-term success.
Through hope, accountability, family involvement, psychiatric care, specialized therapeutic services, and peer support, young people are empowered to build meaningful lives grounded in recovery.
GRC provides a comprehensive outpatient counseling program grounded in evidence-based treatment approaches. Areas of clinical focus may include addressing barriers to recovery, the impact of trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, family dynamics, resilience-building, and peer-related concerns. Each adolescent receives an individualized treatment plan designed to meet their specific needs, supported by a dedicated therapist and customized individual sessions and group therapy services. These services are available both in person at select GRC locations and through virtual modalities when clinically appropriate.
Outpatient counseling provides flexible and confidential care required by those who are struggling with a growing alcohol or drug dependency problem. Options include multiple days a week, day or evening hours. We are committed to getting you connected with services quickly including assessment and enrollment.

Many teenagers (and adults) will try to convince their parents or caregivers that they can stop abusing substances or alcohol without any substance misuse help, but research shows this is unlikely.
