Adult Outpatient Services
Counseling services are specifically developed to meet individual needs. To the extent possible, services are provided with maximum involvement of the individual and other systems in the community with which the individual may be involved. Services are provided with the intent of enabling the individual to receive appropriate intervention in the least restrictive environment and ideally to care for the individual within the community.
A variety of treatment modalities and techniques are employed in the delivery of services to individuals depending on the individual’s needs and capacity to benefit from a particular therapeutic approach. Services include providing co-occurring mental health and substance use outpatient services. Group counseling, peer support, education, substance use case management, and individual treatment are services that may be included on an individual’s treatment plan. The individual and their assigned clinician will work together to plan and regularly review the individual’s goals while in services.
