Alcohol and Drug Services

The largest program offered by Catholic Human Services is known as Alcohol and Drugs Services. These outpatient services are offered in each of the agency’s major offices and in several satellite locations.

Since individuals approach the agency with different levels of alcohol and drug use, we make a diligent effort to start “where they are.” We know that many sensitivities come into play as we delve into the issues, so we work hard to create a safe and respectful working environment. Our treatment philosophy is based on the recognition that addiction is a disease and that abstinence is the best way to manage the condition. We approach treatment in a holistic way, working with mind, body, and spirit as components of a healthy life. A team of professional counselors and social workers, under the supervision of psychiatrists, delivers treatment for alcohol and drug abuse and addiction.

Primary Services:

Adolescent and Adult Counseling: Individual outpatient counseling is offered, as is family and group therapy.
Screening and Assessment Services: Most assessments are completed over the course of two sessions.
Alcohol Highway Safety Education Classes: These classes provide information to drivers who have been referred by the court systems for substance abusing offenses. Many of these classes include a Victims Impact Panel.
Aftercare Groups: Group sessions are available for chemically addicted clients who have completed outpatient or residential treatment and wish to continue to learn and grow in their recovery.

Specific fees are charged for assessments and the Alcohol Highway Safety Education Classes. Individual and/or group counseling fees are income-based and may in part be subsidized by state and federal funds. Third party payment is also explored. The Alcohol and Drug Services of Catholic Human Services Inc. have been accredited by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission (CARF), an international accrediting agency based in Tucson, Arizona.
