Drug and Alcohol Support Groups for Young Adults and Teens
The FullCircle Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that offers staff-facilitated drug and alcohol support groups for teens (age 13-17) and young adults (age 18-25). Our core philosophy is that for sobriety to take hold in a young person, it must be better than getting high!
We offer 12-step program meetings, sober social activities, and parent support group meetings at no-cost to our local Overland Park / Kansas City families and at-risk youth.
Our programs are centered on helping teens maintain sobriety, learn to have fun without drugs, create positive peer relationships, and develop coping skills for any mental health issues that arise through the process.

Benefits of the FullCircle Program’s Young Adult and Adolescent Support Groups
Young people getting sober most often report that one of their primary concerns when they quit drugs is that they will no longer be able to have fun without drugs. FullCircle’s programs are build to address this problem, while teaching 12-step recovery principles and practical emotional coping skills.
Our support groups for young adults and teens are best suited for young people who need to:
- Learn to have fun without drugs and alcohol
- Disconnect from peers who use drugs
- Develop new, lasting friendships with sober young people
Additionally, our young adult and teen recovery programs are a perfect adjunct to other treatments a young person may be participating in. Our support groups are perfect for people who need:
- A full-featured long-term aftercare program after a stay in an higher level of care or addiction treatment program
- An adjunct to outside therapy or treatment plans for substance use disorders or co-occuring disorders from mental health professionals
For adolescent recovery to work in the long-term, it’s essential to provide young people with vital peer support that they can continue to utilize for many years to come. As a program, our primary goal is to provide the best possible chance of success for young people, while also supporting their families on their journey.
