Areas of risk are identified and a plan is developed to meet the individual needs of the client. The client's physician is informed of the risk summary and recommendations for services are sent by letter. Counseling is provided by a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, using a technique to move the client toward the healthy goal of reducing or stopping all ATOD use. Movement is at the client's pace. The counselor's objective is to meet the client where they are motivationally and to enhance the change process.
Clients meet with the counselor at scheduled times.
Mental health and basic needs issues are also assessed during the counseling sessions. Clients in need of family support and services are referred to the Young Family's Program Family Advocate. All Rights Reserved.
