CiR Adolescent Services

Connections in Recovery in Colorado, Los Angeles, New York and Europe provides adolescent services, which includes case management, coaching and companion services. With experienced clinical collaborators, we offer guidance, support, and tools to help adolescents and young adults.

Since 2011, Connections in Recovery (CiR) has been scaffolding substance misuse and mental health recovery with its comprehensive nationwide and global network of recovery services. Using a collaborative approach, CiR‘s executive team works in conjunction with clinical teams and educational consultants. Furthermore, as an objective third-party, CiR is often the eyes and ears in the industry, offering not only a legitimate viewpoint of treatment facilities, providers, doctors and clinicians, but one that has been personally carefully vetted. Because we constantly tour and research treatment facilities, residential & outpatient programs, and personally interview individual professional providers, CiR’s recommendations are current and state-of-the-art in terms of clinicians, services and programming.
