When alcohol and drug use is problematic for an individual, everyone in the family is affected.  In the Adult Recovery Program, all family members may participate so that everyone can access help and support.

Services include: diagnostic assessments, group, individual, and family counseling, recovery skills training, alcohol and drug education, urinalysis tests, continuing care, and relapse prevention planning.

Groups include:

Co-Ocurring Recovery: For individuals with chemical dependency and coexisting mental health issues.  This group focuses on the junction between these issues; how they interface with one another and what a healthy recovery process for both entails.

Drug Education/Skill-Building Group: Focuses on the physiological, psychological and social ramifications of using alcohol and other  drugs.  Sixteen key topics range from the neuro-­chemistry of addiction, to nutrition to perinatal aspects of drug abuse.  The group also directs its attention to the development of core skills necessary to support early and on­going recovery.

Systems Group: This groups main objective is to view the chemically dependent person in the context of their environment.  Various family systems models are utilized, as relation­ship issues ranging from fairness and ethical concerns, to communication patterns, to core rights in relationships are addressed.  A multi­generational perspective is valued and maintained.

Relapse Prevention Group: This group is designed to teach clients about the relapse process utilizing a systematic step by step approach.  By the end of this group, clients will have completed a personal relapse prevention plan.

The Adult Recovery Program is certified by the Oregon State Office of Mental Health and Addiction Services to provide intensive outpatient alcohol and drug treatment.  All contacts are kept in strict confidence.  Confidentiality is maintained in accordance with state and federal regulations.

Our Youth Recovery Program is a unique and intensive outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program for adolescents. The program offers individualized treatment for teens and their families utilizing a multisystemic therapy model.

When alcohol and drug use is problematic for an adolescent, everyone in the family is affected. In the Youth Recovery Program, all family members participate so that everyone can access help and support.

Services include: diagnostic assessments, group, individual, and family counseling, recreation and leisure time skills training, alcohol and drug education, urinalysis tests, continuing care, and relapse prevention planning.

Each adolescent has the opportunity to individually work with a Behavioral Support Specialist (BSS) who assists the youth in skill building. These skills include developing and maintaining positive peer relations; the constructive management of highly emotional reactions during difficult situations; making constructive choices; appropriately interacting with an authority figure; and developing a sense of self which emphasizes the ability to set and accomplish personal goals.

Families participate in weekly family therapy sessions and a Multi-Family Therapy Group. In this setting, families have an opportunity to support and learn from each other. Together, families begin to understand the effects of substances on family interactional patterns. Families begin to experience emotional relief, increased openness, confidence, acceptance, and mutual support.

Identifying the thoughts, feelings, cravings, actions and relationship patterns that have caused clients to rely on substances and then to learn to manage these high risk situations are an integral part of ongoing recovery. Regularly scheduled individual and family therapy sessions offer a rich environment for comprehensive relapse prevention planning to occur.

Highly educated and experienced in substance abuse treatment, Youth Recovery Program staff members are Marriage, Family and Child Therapists and Clinical Social Workers.
