Adult and Child Outpatient Programs:

Clients may receive individual, couple, or family therapy. An intake therapist assesses the client's needs and assigns an appropriate therapist. Clients typically see therapists weekly or biweekly in our office or in the community, when necessary.

Adult Recovery and Youth Recovery Programs:

Adults and adolescents receive group, individual, educational and family therapy to treat chemical dependency. The programs provide community and resource coordination, therapeutic interventions for related mental health issues, support for change and skills application, and relapse prevention. The adolescent program focuses on families structuring and supporting their teens' positive behavior.

Therapy Groups:

CFD therapists provide a number of groups. While offerings change, typically the following groups are available:

Panic/Anxiety Clinic: this ten-week group is offered to clients who experience panic attacks.

Depression: this twelve-week group is available to adults who suffer from depression.

For start dates of these groups, please call 242-2999 for information.

CFD - Teaching Clinic:

Sliding scale/fee-for-service therapy is available to clients without Medicaid, OHP, or insurance benefits. Supervised student interns provide counseling, with hourly fees based on the client's net monthly income. Sliding scale fees start at $5 per session.
