Outpatient Counseling
-
Professionally administered counseling for
individuals, their families or significant others, or groups that impact the
client.

Initial screening and assessment identifies
major areas of concern so that we may assist clients in these areas.
Variety of support groups treat substance abuse in
specialized ways, so that clients may
choose a group that best suits their needs. Among these are life skills,
relapse prevention, and gender-specific.
Our services work closely
with Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other similar programs
to help clients establish close ties with the self-help community.
