Adult Supportive Outpatient Treatment is individual and group therapy for individuals struggling with substance abuse issues and their families. One of our goals at HCCADA is to keep the families together while their loved ones are successfully going through treatment. That is what Supportive Outpatient Treatment provides: the opportunity to heal not only the individual affected by addictions, but also their families by allowing the individual to still work and meet other family obligations and participate in treatment simultaneously.

To determine the most effective counseling or treatment, you will receive a thorough clinical assessment at your first visit. Fortunately, this assessment is covered by most insurance plans. You can come alone or have your family accompany you. Based on that assessment, we will recommend the best course of treatment, which may include individual, family, or group counseling by our therapists.

Outpatient treatment involves a series of weekly counseling session comprised of 5 hours of therapy: two 2-hour group sessions and one 1 individual counseling session.

Treatment continues until you have mastered basic skills for self-care and constant recovery. Your therapist will assist you in developing a strong discharge/recovery plan before your last session.

To schedule an outpatient screening appointment, come by and fill out the outpatient registration form, and bring with you:

• Your photo ID,
• Proof of insurance

We will call you to set up an appointment.

We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid.

Cocaine, (including Crack), Marijuana, Opiates (Codeine and Morphine), Amphetamines/Methanphetamine, and Phencyclidine (PCP)

We use Omega Laboratories for testing the hair samples. The reason most attorneys and judges prefer Omega Laboratories testing is it utilizes GC/MS or LCL/MS testing on all hair tests, which provides the lowest threshold of detection from drugs of abuse. Therefore, if drugs are ingested during the testing period, normally 90 days, we can detect it in the hair.
