The main objective of Ansbach Middle/High School's Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling Services (ASACS) is to prevent teens from becoming involved with alcohol or other drugs at a time so critical to their healthy development as vital, functioning adults.  Our focus is on helping teens make healthy and safe choices and then teaching parents and community members how to support them in their choices.

        How do we do that?

The ASACS program provides adolescents who are engaging in risky behavior, who have already experimented with alcohol or other drugs, or who have begun to use more regularly, an opportunity to learn more about substance abuse, its impact on their lives, and provides the skills to work through the issues caused by substance abuse.  This program also helps adolescents who have been affected by someone else's use by providing them with a safe place to begin to sort out their feelings and learn more about the effects of substance abuse in their lives.
