Substance Abuse Programs

We have individual, group, and family sessions available for substance abuse clients and their families (Adult and Adolescent).  We have a 12-week to 52-week substance abuse outpatient program where clients meet once per week for group.  We also have intensive outpatient program that meets 3 nights a week for 11 weeks.  The intensive outpatient program may vary in number of sessions per week due to work schedule, school commitments and so forth.  We are flexible and will meet the needs of the client, referral source, and us.  All clients will receive lesson plans with personal empowerment strategies to help them overcome major issues that affect substance abusers, such as forgiving self & others, grief recovery, building a positive mental attitude, building positive affirmations, and so on.

Chemical Dependency Program

All 2nd DUI Offenders are given a substance abuse evaluation, which will determine how severe the problem is.  Recommendations from the evaluation may range from 16-52 weeks of DUI classes in a weekly group sessions format plus the 16-hour Prime for Life Series.

Intensive Outpatient Program

The Intensive Outpatient program meets three times a week for ten and 2/3 weeks (32 sessions).  All clients are subject to random drug test urinalysis while in IOP. 

Upon completion of the Intensive Outpatient Program, the client is transferred to aftercare and is able to attend a weekly aftercare group for one year.  The cost of aftercare is included in the IOP costs.  If random drug screen urinalysis are required in aftercare, the client is responsible for those costs.

Each client has individualized treatment goals and objectives.  We have affordable payment plans available for all self paying clients.  Monthly progress reports will be sent to referral agencies as needed.  As payment, we do accept Master Card, Visa, and American Express.
