Adolescent Center for Treatment (ACT) is an 11-bed residential facility for adolescents experiencing problems related to drugs or alcohol. The program is staffed 24 hours a day by licensed clinicians, case managers and direct care staff, providing teens with a safe, trauma-informed environment to begin their recovery. 

ACT has provided affordable and effective substance use disorder treatment for 40 years. Our program utilizes evidence-based practices to help adolescents understand the harmful effects of alcohol and other drug use and develop the necessary attitudes and skills to support recovery.

ACT is housed at the Youth & Family Services Center in Olathe, KS.
