The Young Artist Diploma Program was developed as a four-year sequence, broken into two 2-year components. This enables the student to discover their own particular goals and gifts during the first two years in the Advancement Program, and then decide if they wish to continue their studies at the next level, the two-year Leadership Program which is more intensive and focused. The Diploma Program is tuition-free and covers 43 weeks of program instruction each year. When you add up the costs of private lessons, group classes, summer intensive training, ensemble rehearsals, performance opportunities, workshops, field trips, costumes, instruments, college and career counseling, recital fees, portfolio documentation (video, audio, photos), insurance, facility and administration cost, the average diploma student receives instruction worth approximately $8 000 each year.

Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

What does a detox do for a person afflicted with alcohol or drug addiction?

Detoxification, or detox, is the process of removing toxic substances, such as drugs or alcohol, from an individual's body. It is usually the initial step in treating a person with alcohol or drug addiction before they undergo further treatment or therapy. Detox serves several purposes in the recovery process:

• Physical stabilization: Detox helps the body rid itself of harmful substances, allowing the individual to regain physical stability. This process can alleviate some of the immediate health risks associated with substance abuse.
• Management of withdrawal symptoms: Detox addresses the withdrawal symptoms that can arise when an individual stops using drugs or alcohol. Depending on the substance and the severity of the addiction, withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include physical discomfort, agitation, anxiety, and even life-threatening complications. A medically supervised detox can provide a safe and controlled environment to manage these symptoms, which may include the use of medications to alleviate discomfort and reduce cravings.
• Preparation for further treatment: Detox is often the first step in the recovery process, preparing the individual for further treatment such as counseling, therapy, or support groups. By addressing the physical dependence on substances, detox allows the individual to focus on the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of their addiction during the subsequent phases of treatment.
• Assessment of individual needs: During detox, healthcare professionals can evaluate the individual's specific needs and circumstances, which may include co-occurring mental health disorders or other medical conditions. This assessment can help inform a tailored treatment plan to support the individual's recovery journey.
• Establishment of a support network: Detox provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with healthcare providers, therapists, and other individuals in recovery. This support network can play a critical role in maintaining motivation and providing encouragement throughout the recovery process.

What are relationship risk factors for drug and alcohol abuse?

Several relationship factors can increase the risk of developing a drug or alcohol abuse problem. These include:

• Peer Pressure: One of the most significant relationship risk factors, particularly among young people, is pressure from friends or peers to use substances. This can lead to experimental use, which can progress to misuse or addiction.
• Family History of Substance Abuse: Growing up in a family where substance misuse or addiction is present can increase the risk of developing similar problems. This can be due to both genetic factors and the modeling of substance use behaviors.
• Abusive or Dysfunctional Relationships: People who are in abusive or highly stressful relationships may turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication or escape.
• Enabling Behaviors: If a person's substance use is consistently enabled or excused by their partner, family, or friends, it can perpetuate a pattern of misuse and make it harder for them to recognize or address their problem.
• Isolation or Lack of Social Support: People who feel socially isolated or lack supportive relationships may be more prone to substance abuse. Drugs or alcohol can sometimes be used as a way to cope with feelings of loneliness or disconnection.
• Normalization of Substance Use: In some social or cultural contexts, frequent or heavy substance use may be considered normal or acceptable, which can increase the risk of abuse and addiction.
• Co-dependency: In co-dependent relationships, one person may depend on the other's drug or alcohol problem just as the substance user depends on the substance, creating a cycle that can exacerbate the problem.

Can I successfully get treatment for my addiction to alcohol on an outpatient basis?

"Yes, it is possible to successfully receive treatment for alcohol addiction on an outpatient basis. Outpatient treatment programs can be an effective and flexible option for individuals who cannot commit to inpatient or residential programs due to work, family, or other responsibilities. However, the success of outpatient treatment largely depends on the individual's motivation, support system, and the severity of their addiction. While outpatient treatment can be successful for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. Those with severe alcohol addiction, a history of relapse, or co-occurring mental health disorders may require more intensive inpatient or residential treatment to ensure their safety and promote lasting recovery.

Ultimately, the success of outpatient treatment for alcohol addiction depends on the individual's commitment, the support of their family and friends, and the quality of the treatment program. It is essential to choose a reputable and evidence-based outpatient program and to be fully engaged in the recovery process for the best possible outcome."
