Case Management Services
Case Management services may be provided throughout pregnancy and up to 60 days postpartum, even if the woman does not go into treatment. Through case management services, a woman’s immediate needs (e.g. safety, housing, childcare, medical care, financial assistance, employment, etc.) will be identified and addressed.
Women will be engaged with programs such as HANDS, WIC, and prenatal care; along with referral to services for substance use treatment if necessary. Women involved in case management services will be able to maximize their functioning through community supports, while reducing barriers to a healthy lifestyle.
Additional Services
Crisis Stabilization
Crisis stabilization services are designed to be available when you need them. These services help you during periods of high stress and at critical points in your treatment and recovery process. Effective use of crisis stabilization services helps you maintain treatment progress and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations during a mental health crisis.
Outpatient Therapy
We respect that recovery looks different for everybody. We can meet with you one on one to identify your reasons for substance use and develop a plan for recovery. Also, we can work with your family to help them to provide support for your recovery plan and process.
Our professionals understand that substance use and mental health issues often occur together. We identify and treat both issues to improve your skills for continuing in your recovery.
If medication can be helpful in strengthening your recovery, our psychiatric services staff provide assessment, evaluation, and supportive medication therapy.
Intensive Outpatient Program for Adults
We offer an intensive outpatient program for adults who are using alcohol and/or drugs. Evidence-based treatment is used to promote sobriety and recovery.
Case Management
Our case manager meets with you to help you develop your individualized treatment and recovery plan, acts as a coach to encourage you along your plan, and helps you access other needed resources in the community.
Peer Support
Peer support specialists are people who have been successful in the recovery process and are trained and certified to help others experiencing similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help you become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse.
Peer Support includes therapeutic activities that promote healthy relationships, recovery, self-advocacy, and coping with daily life challenges.
