About Youth Extensions – Raleigh
Youth Extensions is a facility that’s dedicated to supporting your child through challenges related to substance use and mental health in Durham, North Carolina. What we value most about them is their commitment to treating children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances while also addressing trauma and post traumatic stress disorder. You can feel confident that Youth Extensions will provide thoughtful care tailored just for your family.
Outpatient Services that Work for Your Child
Youth Extensions has some amazing outpatient programs that are specially designed for young people in a stable medical condition with a low risk of relapse. These programs allow your child to receive care while maintaining daily routines like school and family life. We like that their approach combines substance use treatment with mental health care to support your child fully.
Support for Trauma, Suicide Prevention and Other Specialized Needs
The facility serves children, adolescents, young adults, and adults who have experienced trauma, serious emotional disturbances, or serious mental illness. You can trust they understand how these challenges impact your child and tailor treatment accordingly. Family psychoeducation and suicide prevention are also offered to help you stay involved and informed.
Recovery in Beautiful Raleigh-Durham
After your child’s appointment, you can visit the JC Raulston Arboretum, a peaceful garden perfect for reflection and relaxation. The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences provides educational exhibits that may support healing and recovery for your family. These local options give you a chance to spend meaningful time together and bond outside the treatment setting.
Extensive Funding Options
Youth Extensions accepts Medicaid, state financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid, and self payment. This variety helps you find the best way to cover your child’s care without additional stress. Knowing these options are available can help you focus on your child’s healing process.
Rehab Score
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
