Individual counseling is available for clients to gain the necessary education and coping skills to combat addiction to alcohol or other substances in a more private setting. After an initial intake appointment, clients will develop treatment plan goals based upon current barriers to recovery. Through consistent attendance and development of coping strategies in session, clients can gain the needed confidence in daily activities without the use of substances.
Group counseling is available for clients that incorporates relapse prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, life skills, mental health and substance use education. Groups consist of no more than 12 clients and provide a forum to discuss issues faced in recovery. Most importantly this method of treatment provides a sense of community and sober social support that cannot be achieved through individual counseling models.

These levels of care provide clients with an individual and group counseling treatment schedule to promote changed behavior. Typically, individuals that are leaving residential care are recommended to participate in an outpatient level of care to support the transition from a safe residential environment to the increased risk and stress that comes with returning home. Individualized care plan will be created after an assessment and intake has been completed to assure that the appropriate treatment setting is provided based upon severity of use.

Groups are usually 90 minutes to 2 hours in length depending on topic and participation from group members. Individual sessions are 50 minutes unless otherwise indicated during treatment planning. Some interventions, such as Brainspotting, may take additional time in sessions and will be outlined in initial treatment planning and clinician scheduling.
Treatment is individualized for every client and truly depends on the progress made, motivations for treatment plan goal completion, and external motivating factors such as legal consequence. Clients can discontinue treatment services at anytime and our team has many community resources to support continued care upon discharge.
