Dockside offers a range of outpatient care, including a service known as Voyage, designed for high-risk youth and their families. This intensive service teaches youth accountability and promotes their active involvement in the community. Clinicians work closely with juvenile justice system representatives, providing close monitoring of community activities as well as individual and family counseling. Youth are often referred to Voyage as an alternative to a more restrictive setting, and are given the opportunity to work their way out of the legal system and off court wardship. This community-based individualized treatment approach reduces the risk of disruptive and costly out-of-home placement.

Dockside also provides the Seven Challenges Program for adolescents ages 12 to 18 who are having problems with alcohol and other drugs. This developmentally appropriate program is designed to help young people think carefully about their lives and their use of substances and to make wise, healthy decisions for themselves. The program is developmentally appropriate, holistic and has been proven to be effective through research. Multi-family group therapy is provided, along with Life Skills education, both essential to the success of the program.

Other services provided by Dockside include comprehensive and targeted case management, parenting skills groups, and the Monitor Prime-based treatment program.

Camelot Community Care, Inc. is accredited in the state of Michigan by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and is licensed by the state as a child care placing agency.

Since November of 2002, Camelot Community Care, Inc. has served Michigan residents through child-focused, family-centered and community based programming provided in the least restrictive setting possible, which includes Therapeutic Foster Care Services.

As a licensed child care placing agency in the state of Michigan, Camelot Community Care, Inc. recruits and trains adults to become licensed as Therapeutic Foster Parents. The training offers parents the opportunity to specialize in a specific area of interest such as addressing the needs of youth with ADHD, sexual offenders, and victims of sexual abuse.

Camelot Community Care, Inc. will continue to offer programs responsive to those served. All efforts will be made to expand programs as needed, while maintaining a focus on serving children and families in their own communities.

A to Z In-Home Tutoring (“A to Z”) offers tailored one-on-one tutoring in the comfort and convenience of the client’s home. Our programs eliminate the visibility and potential embarrassment of the traditional classroom and replace it with confidence through private, focused tutoring and mentoring. Individualized programs are tailored to the unique needs of each child through an innovative pre-testing system. Students quickly become eager learners and are willing to try harder in subject areas that have become a source of frustration.

A to Z was founded in Nashville, TN and hires local certified teachers and Associate's degreed professionals throughout the United States to work with local kids. A to Z’s corporate offices are located in Brentwood, TN.
