Partnering with Schools for Student Wellness

At Recovery Starts Now, we believe that early intervention is key to preventing substance use disorders and promoting overall student success. Our dedicated team of professionals works closely with school administrators, teachers, and families to provide comprehensive support and guidance. By addressing substance use concerns at a critical stage in development, we empower students to make healthier choices and thrive both academically and personally.

Recovery Starts Now is proud to partner with local school districts of Oxnard, CA to provide specialized substance use counseling services for middle school students (grades 6-8). Our program is designed to address the unique challenges that adolescents face, offering early intervention to promote healthy decision-making and long-term well-being. 

Through a combination of individual counseling, group counseling, and educational sessions, we create a supportive environment where students can develop coping skills, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience against substance use.

Our services include one-on-one counseling sessions tailored to each student’s needs, as well as structured group therapy focused on topics such as peer pressure, stress management, and emotional regulation. We integrate evidence-based practices to educate students on the impact of substance use while fostering positive behavioral change. By working directly with schools, we ensure that our program is accessible, confidential, and aligned with the academic and personal development of each student.

Our approach is rooted in a comprehensive risk assessment model, ensuring that each student receives the level of support that best fits their needs. We evaluate risk factors such as family history, peer influence, academic performance, and behavioral patterns to identify students who may be at higher risk for substance use. By integrating early identification with evidence-based interventions, we provide targeted support that not only addresses current concerns but also helps prevent future substance use.

You can find us actively engaged in school communities through Open House events, Back-to-School Nights, and Parent Workshops. We’re committed to building strong connections with families, providing valuable resources, and supporting student success every step of the way.
