In order to join the program, teens first come in for our RAP presentation. This is a comprehensive sexual education presentation that is done on a one on one basis. After receiving the presentation, one of our staff will schedule you an appointment to come in to receive your exam and testing. After receiving the results of your testing you may decide if you would like to begin a method of birth control.
Fees:
A $30.00 fee will be charged for males and females in need of confidential testing and treatment. This fee will also cover the cost of a follow up six-month exam. The fee for oral contraception or the Nuva ring is $10.00 per month.The fee for the Depo Provera is $30.00 per injection.
