This program is designed to intervene in substance use by raising awareness of the effect that alcohol or drug use has on someone’s life and other people's lives. The program focuses on prevention, intervention, and treatment that will help prevent substance abuse. It consists of counseling for individuals and their families who want to learn more about substance abuse disorders and how they can help their family members struggling with addictive behaviors.

Will be assessed by staff for those clients who need an intensive amount of therapeutic intervention and other support to gain sobriety. Residential treatment is part of the primary rehabilitation phase and may be preceded by detoxification if warranted. Residential treatment should be followed by less intensive treatment and aftercare services within a continuum of care. This may include a Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Facility or an Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Program. Obtaining approval of inpatient care facilities may require the following documentation:

• A complete ASAM* indicates the level of care by the client.
• Progress notes or a summary of progress from the client’s therapist or doctor attesting to the need for residential care. 
• An updated Individual Service Plan showing residential treatment as the primary intervention of the client.

*ASAM- (American Society of Addiction Medicine)

The ASAM Criteria will determine the Level of Care (LOC), a comprehensive set of guidelines for placement, continued stay, transfer, or discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions. The ASAM Criteria’s strength-based multidimensional assessment considers a patient's needs, obstacles, and liabilities, as well as their strengths, assets, resources, and support structure. This information determines the appropriate level of care across a continuum.

Experienced psychiatrists provide this service, including thorough psychiatric assessments, prescription of appropriate medications, and ongoing monitoring. This is for clients requiring psychiatric medications as part of their mental health treatment plan.

Creating a supportive environment by sharing experiences to promote unity and solidarity during the recovery journey.
