Alcohol and Chemical Dependency Services
Phone: 1-888-626-2111
Overview
Our Alcohol and Chemical Dependency (ACDS) program is rooted in our team
philosophy: Fighting addiction, saving lives, and healing families. We
know that treatment and recovery is a journey and each member of the ACDS
team has made the long-term commitment of helping their clients reach
their recovery goals. When an individual joins our program, he or she
is joining a family that is dedicated to supporting and strengthening
every person that enters our program.
Our Team
Our staff of licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselors (LCADC), masters-level
clinicians, and social workers who specialize in substance abuse treatment
and co-occurring disorders, understand there is no single-approach or
one-size-fits all timeline for treatment. We work collaboratively with
board-certified psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed and registered
nurses, and advanced practice nurses to develop a customized recovery
program that best suits each person’s needs, schedule, and lifestyle.
Our Approach
Client care begins at initial assessment and is directed as a team effort
between the client and our team. Our assessment allows us to identify
the appropriate level of care for each client and match each person with
the program that best suits his or her needs.
In addition to unsurpassed treatment and support, our program also offers
the following benefits:
- Transportation available until 4pm
- APN on staff daily for medication needs
- Mental health counseling for aftercare
- Evening hours to accommodate work
- Family support services and resources available
Our Programs
This service is an outpatient treatment program providing individualized
and specialized services for substance abuse disorders and concurrent
mental illness. It is intended to meet the needs of the individual patient,
varying in degree of intensity they offer. With four different programs,
we have the flexibility to place patients in the appropriate level of
care according to their clinical needs, and move them easily from one
level to another as they progress in their treatment. Some patients may
be placed directly in the outpatient program from the onset of treatment,
others may “step-down” from a more intensive program. These
services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of Master’s prepared
clinicians.
-
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Patients attend the IOP program for three hours a day for up to five days
a week. Group therapy is the primary form of treatment. Each patient is
assessed to determine their specific psychiatric, social and activity
needs, with special attention paid to the levels of alcohol and/or drug
use. Staff conducts an initial assessment of patients, and services are
modified to provide both treatment and education about substance abuse.
The assessment is also used to develop a customized treatment plan.
-
Traditional Outpatient Program
Our traditional outpatient services include relapse prevention, group therapy
and individual therapy. Outpatient care is provided to patients who have
demonstrated significant positive change in their behavior, including
the ability to begin and maintain the newly acquired skills they learned
at higher levels of care.
-
Drug Court
The outpatient substance team also works with the Criminal Justice System
(Drug Court) to accept referrals of clients who have been charged with
an offense while under the influence of substance and indicate a desire
to become substance free and engage in a healthier lifestyle. These clients
are referred by the Superior Court System, with specifically cited treatment
expectations and the staff care for the client while also being responsible
to report on the progress of the client to the court.
-
Family Group
Weekly, educational group led by professional clinicians for members of
the community who have a family member, loved one or friend who is struggling
with addiction issues. It is a highly attended - mission driven group
- provided for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of loved ones who
have questions, need guidance on how to help their family member, how
to recognize the signs and symptoms of substance abuse, and how to cope
with this disease and its unique issues. There is no charge for attending
this program.
