Cobb/Douglas County CSB is pleased to offer a program for children and adolescents called Next Steps. The Next Steps program provides a comprehensive array of mental health and substance abuse services for children and adolescents including medication management, psychiatric assessment, individual, family and group counseling, parenting classes and community support services. Services are child centered and family focused with an emphasis on individualized and accessible treatment for young people and their families. We accept Medicaid (all types, including MCOs Amerigroup, Cenpatico and Magellan) PeachCare, or other Insurance and can also make other financial arrangements using a self-pay sliding fee scale. In order to meet the needs of the young people we serve, Next Steps utilizes an interdisciplinary team comprised of child and adolescent psychiatrists and more than 50 experienced counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses and community support workers. The Cobb/Douglas CSB also offers the Youth Offender Re-entry Program (YORP) that addresses the needs of sentenced substance-abusing juveniles who are returning from incarceration through assessment, transition planning, systems coordination, treatment and follow-up. Funding for this program is provided by SAMHSA.
