Substance Abuse Assessments
Substance abuse assessments are clinical interviews designed to determine:
1) If an individual has a substance abuse problem; 2) the
degree of the problem, and; 3) the appropriate education or treatment
program. Assessments can be scheduled for weekday mornings, afternoons, and
evenings, or weekends.
- Substance abuse assessments for individuals charged
with DWI ($108 State-mandated fee).
Narcotic Treatment Program (Methadone)
In understanding the cycle of addiction, we have learned that prolonged
heroin use leads to addiction. Abrupt termination of opiate use results in
severe withdrawal symptoms. Methadone, approved by the FDA for treatment of
narcotic addiction, prevents opiate withdrawal, blocks the effect of other
opiates (the addict does not get high should he/she use heroin while on
methadone) and most importantly, relieves the craving described by addicts
as a major factor in relapse.
Our Narcotic Treatment Program provides comprehensive substance abuse
treatment for individuals with a chronic addiction to an opiate. This
includes people addicted to heroin as well as synthetic drugs such as
Dilaudid, Darvocet, and Oxycontin. The program combines medical services,
FDA-approved medication for treatment of narcotic addiction, counseling
services, TB testing, HIV/AIDS education and testing, and regular testing
for alcohol and other drugs. Participation in counseling is mandatory in
this long-term treatment program.
