Our Mission:
Life Changing.
To provide education, assessment, crisis intervention and counseling that assist families to address life’s challenges related to substance abuse, behavioral and mental health struggles.
Our Programs
California Youth Services provides education, assessment, intervention, treatment, and resources for individuals impacted by life’s challenges. We specialize in issues related to substance abuse, delinquent behavior, mental health struggles, and families in crisis. We are here to guide you to the appropriate program or service that fits your individual situation.
J.A.D.E.
The Juvenile Alcohol and Drug Education (JADE) is a wonderful assessment tool for parents/guardians who suspect that their child may be using drugs or alcohol. JADE provides drug and alcohol education and intervention for adolescents and their parents through innovative techniques and reality-based strategies that are based on the 12 step philosophy.
Alternative to Suspension Programs
The innovative and intervention focused Alternative to Suspension Programs are each tailored to meet the unique needs of school districts and their students. We offer alternative to suspension programs in two formats, a three day education program or by direct referral to our JADE and/or Pathways Counseling program.
Monitored Drug Testing
Adolescents today face an array of pressures that past generations never encountered. With the emerging world of social media adolescents now have a wealth of information virtually at their fingertips; often leading to increased peer pressure, social acceptance, and media influence.
To help parents and schools address these issues, CYS offers monitored and unmonitored drug testing for school districts and private schools that have instituted a voluntary drug test program at their middle and/or high school campuses as well as monitored private drug testing services and take home test kits.

Margie has been with us through the entire process and became an adult that our daughter trusted. I am so happy I took the chance and called CYS.
