For individuals who would like to avail themselves of the sliding scale, an application for sliding fees is filled out at the initial evaluation appointment. It is necessary to provide verification of income. For example, a W2 form, tax returns, paystub, etc., are all valid means of proof. The more information you can provide the Institute, the easier it is for us to set a realistic fee. These fees are for consultations only and are not indicative of future fees, which may be set higher or lower depending on an individuals circumstance.
All fees are due at the time of service and are payable by cash, check, or money order.
The psychodynamic treatment of substance abuse has proven to be helpful in facilitating initiation and securing of abstinence in individuals who are motivated to uncover the origins and meaning of their reliance on substances. By addressing the underlying functions of addiction and through integrating more adaptive strategies, the person begins to establish a lifestyle free of maladaptive dependency. Our approach revolves around a belief in individualizing treatment plans which draw on a full-range of psychotherapeutic and counseling modalities. The program provides specialized individual and group treatment needed by adult men and women who are motivated to initiate recovery from substance abuse. Our services also address the needs of the individual who has already established recovery as well as the special needs of the person who presents a tendency to relapse.
