Starting Services
All clients requesting services are referred to our receptionist for intake paperwork. Once the application is completed, the client is seen by a master level clinician or a substance abuse counselor to determine the appropriate level of individualized services within our agency.
Once the assessment has taken place, the treatment plan is developed. The treatment plan outlines the services that will be provided including community support (individual and/or group), Therapeutic behavioral health (individual and/or group), case management, and outside community support groups.
The process is essentially the same for consumers who are under 21, however a few additional forms must be completed. Legal documentation of custody or third party involvement must be provided and the guardian or parent accompanies the minor to their assessment appointment.
