About our Center Our Mission What We Do
Walnut Creek Youth Center was started by myself, Dr. John Strong Ph.D., and my wife Dr. Lily Strong, Ph.D. We are passionate about helping teens to battle drug addiction and show a bright side of sober life to young adults.
Here we treat teens with drug dependency and help counsel them and their families to find the root issues.
Before coming to us, teens are victims of their habits. Addiction dictates and affects every aspect of an adolescent’s life. We strive to help these teens and their families break free so they can find a life after addiction.
We look forward to guiding your teen for success. Join “Walnut Creek Youth 2014” now !
