Adolescent and Adult Out Patient
Report
Treatment begins in the intake when we meet with each person and after a thorough assessment an individualized treatment plan will be developed. This could include individual therapy and/or group therapy. The length of the program is based on individual needs and/or court requirements. It is usually 12-15 weeks in duration if abstinence is maintained.
Family Education
Report
The whole family is impacted when there is one person with a substance use problem. Until we call it what it is, it is like the elephant in the room. In this supportive group setting, family members will learn about the disease of addiction and also gain effective tools and skills to interact with the substance abuser.
Relapse Prevention
Report
Relapse is a common problem with addictions due to the compulsive nature of the disease. Each person is seen individually to develop a plan that will help facilitate successful recovery. The program could include individual counseling sessions and clients might be invited to attend our sobriety support group.
