We live in a complicated and fast-moving society. Stress can affect other emotions such as negative anger. Stress can be defined as a mismatch between an individual’s coping skills and the demands of their life.

The Life Skills for Living Program centers on altering a person’s usual negative response to stress to a new altered response. This altered response involves creating a process to change our techniques in the way we think, feel, and act during stressful periods that we all experience.

Must be at least 12 years old.

Workshops focus on Education, Employment, Personal Living, Health and Safety, and Support

What are Movin' On Workshops?

Unconventional, interactive workshops that encourage  youths ages 13 - 19 years of age to "think" and develop skills while having fun.  Youth are taught to use the skills that they do not even realize they have to solve real world issues and deal with challenges that they will face after leaving foster care.

YTIA recognizes that youth learn in a variety of ways and that preparing to leave foster care begins when you enter foster care and that is why our Movin' On Workshops are:

  • Tailored to meet youths where they are in life
  • Divided into three categories based on the youths age and/or ability
  • Can be created specifically for the youths needs
  • Focus on specific categories of life skills
  • Have an emphasis on preventing and /or mitigating legal effects

Workshops are divided into three categories:

  • Get Ready - Designed for youth 13 - 15 years of age.  
  • Transitioning Out - Designed for youth 16 - 18 years of age. 
  • 18 and Free - Designed for youth 18 and older who want to know what it's really like once you "age out of the system"  or who have "aged out of the system" and need help making it on their own.

The first step on your journey to recovery is withdrawal. During this process, as drugs and alcohol leave your body, you might experience painful or uncomfortable physical symptoms. It’s crucial to go through withdrawal under the supervision of a medical team. Some individuals try to quit drinking or using drugs all at once, which can be dangerous. Withdrawal from alcohol, heroin, and benzodiazepines such as Xanax or Valium can lead to severe and life-threatening symptoms if not done carefully.

Throughout an addiction, the brain and body become used to the presence of the addictive chemical. Over time, the user’s tolerance increases, which drives them to use more of the substance more often to reach the same high. 

Physical dependence, however, is a two-sided coin. Just as it fuels the addiction, it also hurts the user when they stop using their substance of choice. When the addictive chemical is no longer present, the body exhibits multiple withdrawal symptoms. This is especially true for those who have used the drug for a long time or in particularly heavy doses. For these users, detox is a life-saver; withdrawal symptoms for these users can cause death if the user is not supervised.

In our Texas detox center program, we offer round-the-clock support and medical interventions as necessary.

Located in San Antonio, our detox center is in the heart of Texas, making it a great location for residents from all over the state to seek treatment for substance abuse disorders. We commonly treat patients from other cities who are seeking a change of scenery while undergoing the recovery process.

We invite you to reach out to our team today. Taking the first step of admitting that you need help takes courage. When you call our team, we’ll discuss the next steps in overcoming addiction and rebuilding your life. Call us at 866-957-7885 or contact us online to learn more.
