Welcome to Alternative Youth Care (AYC). Located in Northwest Montana, we have been helping young men for over a decade recapture their lives using a 12-Step, Alcoholics Anonymous, Hazelden-based treatment philosophy. We are a long-term, transitional living, halfway house. We specialize in helping to develop a desire to pursue life without drugs or alcohol. Our Treatment Program begins where inpatient treatment ends. Our goal is to foster long-term abstinence and a lifestyle of sobriety. We believe learning genuine life and social skills within a structured residential facility is the answer for sobriety.
