Addictions Services

The Addictions Program is a 12-week psycho-educational program.  Participants learn weekly about various types of substances, what addiction is, and methods for achieving and maintaining sobriety. The participants learn the importance of developing strong relapse prevention strategies, including self-help groups such as AA or NA. Though the program is largely educational in its format, processing allows the participants to share ideas and feedback and to learn to apply the concepts to their personal lives. There are some progress demonstrations in this program.

 Some individuals, because of their work schedules, elect to complete the Addictions Program via individual sessions. Individual sessions, scheduled at the client’s request, cost twice what the group sessions cost, but they allow the individual who is motivated to learn about the topics to complete the program in a quicker fashion than the group format allows for. Many of these participants complete the program in 6 sessions or so.

Substance Recovery Group Program -  AFTERCARE

 When referred for Substance Recovery Group or AFTERCARE, clients are initially scheduled for an individual assessment/orientation. This assessment/orientation allows the clinician to become acquainted with the client, the client’s knowledge and progress regarding sobriety, and any issues that may complicate the client’s progress. The clinician will make recommendations regarding which program best suits the client at that particular time (Addictions, Substance Recovery Group, or AFTERCARE).

 The Substance Recovery Group serves as Part II of the Addictions Program for those who require a deeper focus and practice at sober living. The Substance Recovery Group offers educational components but is largely a process-focused group treatment that uses the Addictions topics and the participant’s personal life experiences as a springboard for more intensive therapeutic discussions.

 Participants must have largely worked through their denial of responsibility and be prepared to address many personal issues surrounding their history of substance abuse. There are some required progress demonstrations in this program. Though successful completion of this program is based upon the participant’s progress, most participants can expect to engage in this program for approximately 3 months.

 For individuals who require a more specific or intensive addictions treatment, individual sessions offer a one-on-one focus. These sessions may occur by themselves, or they may supplement the Substance Recovery Group or AFTERCARE.

 AFTERCARE serves as a Part III of the Addictions program. Participants must be willing to address many issues that affect their ability to maintain substance abstinence.

 AFTERCARE clients engage in sessions that are 1 to 1 ½ hours in length. These sessions are process-focused sessions that address the client’s personal issues, struggles, and successes regarding abstinence. The client’s progress regarding healthy/stable living is assessed at 90-day intervals, with a referral for continuing sessions or completion of the program to be made at those intervals. AFTERCARE sessions may range from 90 days to 180 days beyond the Substance Recovery Group sessions.

 In summary, there is a seamless progression of clinical services that spans the following:

 -       90 days (Addictions Program)

-       90 to 180 days (Substance Recovery Group)

-       90 to 180 days (AFTERCARE)
