Multidimensional Family Therapy is Wheeler Clinic's
innovative and evidence-based intensive in-home program for adolescents
ages 11-18 at risk for drug addiction. Our MDFT staff focus on several
core areas of the teen's life simultaneously - parents, schools,
other family members and the community. The program also helps the
family understand the connections between drug use, criminal behavior
and mental health.
During treatment, skills are learned which enhance:
- Positive peer relations
- Healthy self-esteem
- Connection to school and community activities
- Increased autonomy
- Emotional connection to family members
Parents and family members are also involved by learning and applying skills which:
- Improve the relationship with their child or sibling
- Increase their knowledge of successful parenting practices
- Improve day-to-day and
intimate communication
