Private, confidential and professional services are always available. Our programs include:
Evaluation:
The possibility that alcohol or other drug problems exist often creates anxiety, fear and frustration. "Is the problem there or isn’t it?" "How serious is it?" "What can I do?" The evaluation process helps to answer all those questions and gives clear answers to what is wrong, what can be done to help and where help can be found.
Individual Counseling:
The most basic and frequent service offered, individual counseling, gives a chance to meet with a counselor one on one. Here people come to work on their own problems with drugs and alcohol, or the problems being faced by someone they love.
Adult children who continue to reside in the home can drive parents crazy! This is especially true when that adult child abuses alcohol or other drugs. It is one of the single most frequent calls we get as drug and alcohol counselors. Parents feel they must have done something wrong or their now adult son or daughter would not be acting this way. Lovingly, they keep trying to help them, but the situation only gets worse. While the not all of the following commandments address substance abuse directly, they do address the parents putting up with the behavior. They're based on solutions parents themselves discovered in order to regain control over their lives and their homes.
