Congratulations for making that very important first step on your
road to recovery by scheduling an appointment at CCCASA. Many
people are not sure what to expect on their first visit. You will
have paperwork to fill out and go over with our helpful support
staff. Please make sure to bring along any insurance information
as our services are covered by many insurance plans. You will
then be interviewed by one of our counselors to determine your
alcohol or drug usage. They may also request to meet with a family
member to obtain additional information. Within this process,
a member of our medical staff will also interview you to assess
and address any medical concerns.
After
all of the information is collected, you will work with your counselor
to design a program that will consist of individual as well as
group counseling session. It is impossible to predict how long
your recovery process will take, but our experienced counselors
will help you to achieve recovery according to your individual
pace.
If
you do not meet the criteria for outpatient services, you may
be referred to our Prevention First
department for information regarding alcohol or substance
usage.

Medical
detoxification
and In-patient treatment
If
your alcohol or drug usage is immediately threatening
your health, you may be referred for medical detoxification
in a hospital setting. Patients are discharged as soon
as they are medically stable, and referred to participate
in one or more forms of psychosocial therapy, peer-support
groups and the like.
Inpatient
rehabilitation ("Rehab") is for those individuals
who lack the support to develop abstinence and recovery
while at home. The typical rehab program lasts for 21-28
days. The patient lives at the rehab clinic for the period
of treatment. Patients detoxify for the first few days
of their rehab experience. Thereafter, they spend their
days participating in a combination of individual and
group psychotherapy, twelve step meeting participation,
and recreational and occupational therapy.
Individuals
who successfully complete an inpatient rehabilitation
center and need additional support may be referred to
one of our residential settings. Some recovering persons
require this special extended support to help them maintain
their sobriety (e.g., they are homeless, they are severely
impaired and cannot manage their own living situations,
they live with actively drug abusing people and to return
to that environment would almost certainly assure relapse).
At CCCASA, we have a few different levels of sober housing
where you can live communally in a safe environment that
encourages sobriety, community support, and twelve step
meeting attendance. Click
