Can Childrens Service Center of handle a court referral?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Wilkes Barre send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
What stops it going wrong again afterward?
What comes next is the question to ask on the way in, not on the way out. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
What if there is depression or anxiety as well?
Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.
Who answers the phone?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.
