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
Intensive Outpatient Program: The intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers an option for clients not
requiring inpatient level of care or for those who have recently completed
an inpatient treatment program. The IOP is a group-based program held
three days per week and has either morning or evening hours available.
The sessions are three hours in length and offer educational information
on substance use and coping skills, as well as group therapy. Clients
also will have an individual clinician assigned at intake and will meet
weekly with this clinician for one-on-one counseling. For clients with
a mental health diagnosis, we have an advanced practice nurse (APN) on
staff to provide psychiatric care and assessment.
Outpatient Program: The outpatient program (OP) is for clients who have completed the IOP
program. In some cases, clients may be assessed as only requiring an OP
level of care and may begin their treatment in this group if deemed clinically
appropriate. This level of care is less intense and typically meets once
weekly for group therapy and once weekly for individual counseling sessions,
with morning and evening hours available.
There is also a distinct track of the OP program for people who may have
mental health and substance abuse disorders, also known as co-occurring
disorders. Individuals will meet twice weekly for group therapy, to enhance
stability for both substance abuse and mental health treatment.
The goal of the outpatient program is to help transition clients from a
therapeutic setting to “living life on life’s terms”
and allowing them to implement their recovery plan and coping skills in
daily living, while maintaining therapeutic support if needed.
