Contra Costa Health - Room to Overcome Achieve and Recover

Room to Overcome, Achieve, and Recover (ROAR), part of Contra Costa Health Services, is an intensive outpatient program located in Richmond, California, serving adolescents ages 14 to 19. The facility provides a higher level of care than standard outpatient substance use disorder counseling, integrating school-based programming with therapy and recovery support. Licensed mental health clinicians, certified SUD counselors, adventure therapists, peer recovery coaches, and credentialed educators collaborate to deliver individualized and group-based care, as well as family and multi-family therapy. ROAR emphasizes connections with the broader youth recovery community to support lasting engagement in treatment and long-term wellness.

The program incorporates evidence-based and adventure-based therapeutic modalities, including individual and group counseling, family and multi-family interventions, and peer recovery coaching. ROAR addresses substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health challenges, and behavioral health issues while fostering resilience, life skills, and positive peer connections. By integrating clinical expertise, educational support, and community linkage, the facility ensures adolescents receive comprehensive, holistic care tailored to their developmental and emotional needs.
