Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation which includes an initial interview and testing instruments (SASSI 3, Socrates 7A and/or 7D, ASUS, ASAM PPC-II, ASI, Beck Depression Inventory II, Mini Mental). The client is strongly encouraged to provide a urine screen as a supplement to the evaluation. This assessment process is utilized to determine which level of care is most appropriate for the client, to identify client/referral goals, and to determine the most effective way to achieve these goals. The evaluations are approximately three to five hours long, and are often completed over two sessions. Extensive reports are available upon request.

Brief Model Counseling
A treatment plan focused group. Clients can attend one to three times per week depending on their needs. Urine screens are a required component of this model. This program utilizes an interactive, treatment plan driven counseling process. The counselor evaluates the client's ability to benefit from a minimal-structure format through the utilization of Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused techniques. The clients' treatment goals and related issues create the topics for group. Treatment plans are initially designed for a short period of time. Clients are continuously reassessed, and the length of treatment is individualized to meet their needs. Clients are able to remain in the group as long as they are actively working on their treatment plans or if it is needed to address additional treatment needs.

• Antabuse and drug detection patches are available as an additional service for adult clients.
• Monthly reports are provided to the referral source. At discharge, the referral source is provided with a comprehensive report which incorporates evaluations and recommendations.

Random Urine Screen Program
A specialized service available by direct agency referrals. All clients must have an active referral source and complete the intake process. Clients are assigned colors which correspond with the frequency of urine screens.
