Alcohol & Other Drug
At Guidance for Growing, a state-licensed therapist will assess and address issues surrounding your alcohol and other drugs use. Your treatment will be kept completely confidential, and you will gain the knowledge and have the support needed to develop, update and maintain an individualized treatment program. If you’re facing alcohol or other drug charges such as a DUI, you will receive help to meet all court-mandated requirements.
Assessment
The first step in knowing if there’s an alcohol or other drug issue is to have an assessment. Because substance use is not isolated to one area of an individual’s life, an assessment will explore your medical, employment, education, family, social, legal, and mental health background. This thorough, two-hour assessment allows both the individual and assessor a chance to view areas where alcohol and other drugs are stunting one’s growth. Alcohol and other drug assessments are used to determine recommended level of care:
- For those concerned about their personal substance use
- For employers concerned about an employee’s substance use
- For parents concerned about their child’s substance use
- For juveniles receiving an alcohol or other drug offense
- As required for those convicted of a DUI offense
