Enhanced
Outpatient Services for Adults and Adolescents
The AIOP program targets adolescents using substances.
The group is offered twice a week for twelve weeks.
It is a skills oriented group, with a focus on communication
skills and styles, anger management, cognitive restructuring,
self-esteem, family roles, coping with pressure,
boundaries, decision making, grief loss, AIDS education,
and an overview of the physical consequences of
alcohol, marijuana, and methamphetamine use.
Individual
Therapy
Individual therapy allows
the client the opportunity to explore and resolve
personal problems in a one-to-one setting. The
approach is usually intensive, brief, problem
specific, with short-term goals, such as problem
resolution, decision making or reducing the effects
of a symptom.
Substance
Abuse Evaluations
A Substance Abuse Evaluation is a comprehensive
service that includes additional screening tools
and contacts with family members, employers, and/or
others who can provide additional information
to allow staff to make the best possible recommendations.
The evaluation report includes detail about the
individual's history, testing results, diagnostic
profile, and treatment recommendations.
Case
Management Services
Case management
services are provided to help clients access other
community support systems and to coordinate treatment
services. An assessment helps determine what community
resources the client needs. Case management services
are provided through linkage, advocacy, service
planning, follow-up, monitoring, and crisis management.
Consultation
and Education
Center staff are
available to provide consultation with schools,
social services, juvenile diversion, law enforcement,
foster parents, nursing homes, and other members
of the human service community regarding individual
cases, as well as general mental health issues
and topics. Education is offered through speaking
engagements, inservice presentations, and workshops.
