The intervention process consists of an interview and assessment followed by a series of sessions designed to prepare concerned family members, close friends and colleagues to help an addicted person accept a recommendation for treatment. Five or six visits are typical, with the addicted family member participating in the final session. The intervention service is billed as codependency treatment to the party initiating the process. Subsequent treatment is billed to the patient's insurance. Both group and individual therapy is provided and participation in self-help groups is required.
Aftercare services reinforce the young person's commitment to a chemical-free life.
Parent groups are also available and the parent need not have a child currently in treatment to participate. Group and individual counseling and support, expressive therapy, chemical dependency education, development of sober living skills and stepwork are also part of the treatment program. We also offer a program for children of alcoholics, which consists of individual and group counseling during after-school hours. Treatment costs are covered by most private health insurance companies and by Medicaid. A sliding-fee schedule for those without insurance coverage is available.
