The counseling program includes both individual and group counseling sessions. Individual counseling sessions are provided based on treatment plan, developed by both case manager and client.
Educational groups include: Parenting, Health Education, Life Skills, Relapse Prevention, Domestic Violence and Peer Support, and 12 Step Relapse.
Behavioral Health Services:
Psychological screenings and assessment will be conducted by a licensed therapist who will develop a psychological history, consisting of identifying chemical dependency, psychiatric and neuropsychological problems and evaluate the client’s individual mental health needs and employment and drug history. Other information on family functioning, cultural/ethnic factors, peer influence, defiant behavior, anti-social attitudes, mental and emotional distress and school adjustment problems are also gathered.
Parent Co-op-Child Care Services:
Child care is provided to clients with children 0-5 years. Child care is conducted as a parent Co-op, where staff, in conjunction with the clients, provides the services. The parent co-op is an opportunity for clients to further develop and display parenting skills learned.

During this wait period, the client is to attend 12-step support meetings as recommended by case manager, so as to demonstrate willingness and a desire to work a recovery program. Failure to submit proof of 12-step attendance at the time of intake may result in failure to be admitted into the program.
