Youth Overcoming Drug Abuse (YODA) is an intensive outpatient program of STARS for
adolescents with substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders.
YODA provides gender-specific treatment with separate groups for males and females.
We believe people can recover. We do not give up.
Gender-Specific Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs
Services are free to youth ages 13 to 18 who are Tennessee residents and are uninsured or have insurance that will not pay for treatment. Length of program is based on individual needs. Our model is person-centered and based on evidence-based therapeutic models that are responsive to the particular needs of young females and males.
