Assessment: Initial evaluation is done by a qualified case manager. The assessment is comprehensive and thorough in order to assess client’s total situation. Treatment options and possible detoxification will be discussed.

Case Management: Qualified staff member (case manager) assists client with setting goals geared toward solving problems found in the assessment.

Residential Treatment: Provides an intensive in-patient environment as part of a complete, comprehensive, and thorough treatment option. In residential treatment a person will live at the treatment facility and participate in a 3-phase treatment program consisting of:

• Life skills
• Individual and group counseling
• Educational sessions focusing on solutions-based recovery
• Treatment
• Exit planning

Treatment Planning: Client works with case manager on goal setting. Goal setting includes current problems client is having, along with setting goals that will help client maintain sobriety once they leave the treatment facility.

Exit Planning: Is completed before client is exited from program. Exit planning focuses strictly on those issues that a client will face when leaving the treatment center that may jeopardize their sobriety.

Outpatient Treatment: Alternative treatment option that allows a client to participate in the same treatment as those clients in residential treatment but allows them to stay at their own residence.
