Mission: Just Enough So U Stop, founded in 2000, came about out of a need for substance abuse treatment for former and current individuals involved in criminal activity due to substance use in the metropolitan Washington DC area. We also found that the adolescent population was becoming heavily addicted and there were no slots available to treat these adolescents affected by substance abuse. Throughout our experiences working for secular organizations that provided treatment for adults, we found that the counselors providing services were not adequately trained, and relied heavily on their personal experience which did not bode well for everyone's treatment. We felt that if the counselors are properly trained in the functions of counseling, the relapse rate of clients would be reduced. Just Enough's goal is to assist the individual seeking treatment using a balance of spiritual and clinical methodologies to produce a well balanced human. We provide the training to those seeking certification to ensure that the proper methods are executed to provide the highest level of care to those who receive assistance.
Programs: We provide groups for Chemical Dependency Education, The Disease concept of Addiction, Relapse Prevention and Anger Management, Mentoring, The Effects of Substance Abuse, Spirituality and Addiction, 12 Step Recovery, Conflict Resolution, Criminal Thinking and Behavior. We provide year round counselor training for certification, awarding two people with scholarships to advance their careers. We provide treatment free of charge to anyone who wants it. We sponsor outings for youth groups to basketball outings and we donate Holiday food baskets to the area middle school and for our clients who desire assistance with holiday meals.
