Program Philosophy:
- Addiction to alcohol or other drugs is shown by not being able to
control use in spite of harmful effects/consequences.
- Alcohol and other drug abuse affect all parts of a person’s
life.
- Treatment that works must address all parts of the problem.
- Recovery depends on the person staying free of all mood/mind changing
drugs unless for valid medical reasons.
ADMISSION AND TREATMENT POLICIES
- An assessment will be completed with each client.
- A problem list goals, and methods to reach goals will be developed
with each client. This will be reviewed often.
- A physical exam is required if:
- Drugs have been taken intravenously.
- The client is pregnant.
- It appears the client’s health has been affected by use
of alcohol/drugs.
- Clients are expected to attend scheduled appointments.
- If there is no contact for 30 days, treatment may be ended
- Clients admitted to treatment must agree to remain free from alcohol/drugs.
Urinalysis testing may be used to assist a client in staying drug
free
- Fees for treatment will be on a sliding fee scale based on the client’s
income.
- Being clean & sober is only the first step. Ongoing evaluation
occurs to ensure that the person’s treatment needs are being
met.
- Alcohol and other drug dependence affect the whole family. Education
and treatment are offered to those living with the person in treatment.
- Referrals to self-help programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous or
Narcotics Anonymous and Ala-non are used to aid the individual and
the family in forming a lifelong support system. Other abstinence
based community groups are also accessed dependent on the individual.
