Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation
Prior to engaging a perspective client in any of our services we will conduct a comprehensive intake assessment and evaluation. The primary ojective of this process is to gather background and history from a variety of sources prior to providing clinical recommendations and formulating a treatment plan. This process consists of self-report, collateral from family members, treatment providers and review of relevant clinical information and documentation.
After completing a comprehensive assessment and evaluation, if a higher level of care seems appropriate due to the severity or complexity of the presenting problems. In the event the client may be medically or psychiatrically compromised, we will initiate a referral to a suitable residential treatment facility. We will continue to support the client and the family throughout the treatment process and will collaborate with inpatient treatment providers to ensure continuity of care.
Treatment Consultation Services
Identifying the appropriate treatment for a loved one can be an incredibly overwhelming and daunting process requiring a lot of time and attention. We will will assist families in identifying the appropriate level of care and treatment setting for your loved one based on presenting problems, age, gender, treatment history, personal preferences, and any other relevant information. We are committed to promoting sustainable change and long term recovery from any and all behavioral health issues that may be interfering with one's life. Drawing upon our extensive network of outpatient, inpatient and residential providers that we works with to match individuals to the appropriate treatment at all levels of care. We will not refer to a provider or a facility without prior investigation of the facility which includes a reference check. We use our extensive clinical experience and knowledge of resources to guide the individual and family throughout the process while providing continuous support and oversight of the case.

Family Counseling
Considering that substance abuse and mental health issues can be extremely detrimental to family dynamics, family counseling is highly recommended to help the family cope and heal. Our clinicians are trained in Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) which has demonstrated results in improving overall well-being of family members, and promoting engagement of addicted individuals in treatment. We are committed to providing support to families in all stages of the recovery process.

Family Intensives

This service is individualized to family and duration will be determined after conducting a comprehensive assessment and obtaining collateral information from previous or existing treatment providers. An individual or team of clinicians will be assigned to work exclusively with the couple or family based on the presenting problems identified during our comprehensive assessment, which is conducted either over the phone or in person. Schedule, content, and clinical focus is highly customized to the needs and goals of the couple or family. The average duration is 2-4 days at a location of the couple or family's choice.
