Outpatient Treatment Services offered at Advocates for Wellness

The Alcohol/Drug Information School (ADIS) is a one day class, usually held on the last Saturday of each month. ADIS meets Department of Licensing (DOL), requirements for persons, convicted of DUI, who do not have a significant alcohol or drug abuse problem. ADIS is also available to other individuals that have a desire to learn about the impact of chemical use. DUI Evaluations - provides a court-ordered assessment of individuals who have been convicted of driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol to evaluate the severity of their problem and make a recommendation to the court regarding appropriate treatment. Adult Outpatient (aftercare) - follows either Intensive Outpatient or Intensive Inpatient treatment using a combination of group and individual counseling sessions. Adult Outpatient aids the individual to adjust to a life without chemicals. Adolescent Outpatient substance abuse counseling and chemical dependency treatment uses a combination of group, individual, and family sessions to develop and maintain a chemical free lifestyle. The number of group sessions per week is adjusted to meet the therapeutic needs of the adolescent. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) - is primary chemical dependency treatment provided on an outpatient basis using a combination of group and individual sessions. It permits an individual to receive chemical dependency treatment, while staying in his/her home community. Therefore, the individual is able to maintain employment and meet other life obligations, while receiving primary chemical dependency treatment services. Other Addictions - gambling, sex and food addictions are often associated with substance abuse or chemical dependency. Counseling is available to individuals for other addictions to assist in maintaining recovery. Relapse Prevention Counseling (RPC) - designed to assist individuals to identify high-risk situations and develop coping skills to maintain abstinence while in those situations. Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is designed to assist individuals to identify and change personality traits and lifestyle patterns that interfere with their attaining and maintaining long-term sobriety. Family Services - while it is vitally important for the chemical user to address his/her substance use, it is equally important to address the family system dynamics to ensure the person the best opportunity for long-term benefits of his/her treatment experience. Therefore, family counseling sessions and family group therapy are an integral part of treatment at Advocates for Wellness. Family Interventions - the person using chemicals is often unaware of the damage s/he is inflicting on other family members. The family often needs support and guidance on how to confront and/or help the chemical user to see the need for treatment. Family Intervention is a structured format that will assist the one using chemicals to seek treatment, and provide the family a start to healing the damage caused by the chemical user. Mental Health Services - the chemical user and his/her family members often need counseling in addition to substance abuse counseling. Mental Health services are available at Advocates for Wellness by trained Mental Health Professionals. Agency provides DBHR-certified service(s).
