The First Step
For many clients, contact with the outpatient facility is the first contact they have with a treatment provider. The treatment process usually begins with a call from a potential client, family member, employer, EAP, legal officials or school.

An initial assessment of the client's status will be conducted by either a certified or master's level addiction counselor or a licensed social worker. Treatment needs are then established and an appropriate recommendation is made.

CCS staff consists of certified addictions counselors, master's level addiction counselors and mental health professionals to meet every patient's needs.

Continuum of Care:  

Orientation Program
This is a less intensive level of care. It addresses the needs of the individual who does not have a defined dependency problem. The program presents clients with information to assess their own using behavior and make sensible decisions about the role of alcohol or drugs in their life.

Intensive Outpatient Programs
These treatment programs have a greater level of intensity and consist of:

• Group therapy
• Individual and family counseling
• Drug education
• 12-Step principles of recovery
• Relapse prevention

Lectures, videos, therapeutic games and other techniques are used to expand and augment the opportunities for learning new ways to think and behave. Family members are strongly encouraged to participate in a group program of education and counseling.

Primary Outpatient Programs
Treatment in this structured program consists of drug and alcohol education, as well as group discussions.

Individual Therapy
Upon assessment, individuals may receive individual therapy alone or in combination with group therapy.

Aftercare Support Groups
Aftercare support groups meet weekly to help maintain and support the recovery process. Under the guidance of skilled addictions counselors, ongoing issues of coping with everyday life are explored, and patients share their experiences and offer mutual support.

Intervention Services

What is an intervention?
Within the realm of alcoholism and drug addiction, an intervention consists of family and friends formally approaching an individual about their chemical use in a loving and non-judgmental way; with the goal that the individual will hear their concerns and seek help for their problem.

For those concerned about a loved one or a client who has a drug or alcohol problem, our professionals can work with them on an intervention to help the troubled individual face the reality of their addiction problem and get the treatment necessary for their well-being.

The process includes placing the initial call, a pre-intervention meeting with an addictions counselor and then determining if an actual intervention needs to take place.
