Recovery Program Goals
- Assist clients in developing motivation for sobriety and establishing goals for their future.
- Provide an opportunity for clients to begin to practice newly acquired coping skills,
communication skills, and (drug) refusal skills. - Provide a safe, sober environment for individuals who are recovering from substance abuse
and dependence.
Counseling Provided
In addition to providing Room and Board, the Recovery Unit also provides the following
services:
Although the majority of education and counseling is on the topic of substance abuse, other coping
skills are also addressed. These include assertive communication, life skills, interviewing skills,
dressing for success, and others. The intention is to provide instruction in areas that will help
clients make other changes that will improve their chances at ongoing sobriety. Additionally,
individual and group counseling may target topics like depression, anxiety, and anger management,
or coping with co-occurring mental disorders.
On occasion, the Recovery Unit may provide coordination of care with an agency that provides
Opioid Replacement Treatment. Opioid replacement therapy is viewed as an important treatment
option for individuals with significant history of Opioid dependence and The Guidance Center does
not discriminate against individuals who are medically managed on Opioid Replacement Therapy.
On average, clients receive approximately 10 hours per week of individual and group counseling,
two hours per week of family counseling, and approximately fifteen hours per week of educational
topics. At the time of assessment, clients are also screened for co-occurring mental disorders. If
they are determined to be in need of further evaluation, a psychiatric evaluation is scheduled, and
may result in weekly medication monitoring. Psychological assessments, including those to detect
ADHD and Learning Disorders may also be provided if needed.
