Substance Use Counseling
What we do
Our highly trained clinical team knows that every journey to recovery is unique, which is why we tailor treatment to fit every individual’s needs. During the assessment process, one of our licensed clinicians will assess the level of care required for the client, considering factors such as history of use, lifestyle, and motivation. Every client has the benefit of weekly individual sessions to explore and support personal goals related to their recovery process. In conjunction, weekly group sessions offer a safe space to expand on the psychoeducational component of recovery.
Our outpatient programs include:
- Adult Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Adult Outpatient Program (OP)
- Stepping Stones: A specialized Substance Outpatient Program for Women with Children
*Drug screens are administered routinely and randomly for all programs.
We have them covered
It’s good to know that most types of insurance are accepted—including Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. For those without insurance coverage, The Bridge has a sliding-fee scale as well as additional funding sources that can be utilized.
