Depending on the findings of the assessment the clinician may recommend one of the following:
Alcohol and Drug Information School (ADIS)

Outpatient Education/Relapse Prevention

​
When the diagnosis of an individual confirms that he/she is too ill to be able to recover in an outpatient program, an inpatient regimen is recommended.
Continuing Care
​To effectively treat the chronic disease of addiction, it is essential that individuals engage in ongoing care. The treatment team, family, and positive peers can all support the individual as they begin to apply the tools of recovery in their daily life. In continuing care, the treatment plan evolves from a focus of achieving a drug free life and education to addressing the life challenges. The final length of treatment is determined by the patient and counselor as they evaluate progress in their recovery.
​
Family Support & Education
The disease of addiction wreaks a special havoc on relationships. Family and spouses can be confused, saddened and often angered by the changes the disease brings about in behaviors, thinking and emotions. The family group teaches about the nature of addiction and recovery as well as behavior changes that will re-balance the family in crisis.
