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

We use Omega Laboratories for testing the hair samples. Most attorneys and judges prefer Omega Laboratories testing because 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.

For more information, please contact us.

$100.00 per test.

HCCADA has developed a program for those who are serious about enhancing their recovery from drug and or alcohol abuse or addictions, a program for those who are searching for insight into working and using the 12-step program as a foundation for serenity and new peace, who need a little more help getting where they need to be, but not so much as in the full outpatient program.

We call it the Genesis Program. It is all about new beginnings and, the good, orderly direction of healthy values and lifestyles.

This program–which meets by appointment–is for those with a conviction to recovery, spiritual growth, and a life dedicated to service to their communities.

Genesis is a 12-16 week program with one-on-one individual appointments.

For more information, please contact us.

$50/Week.

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 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 work and meet other family obligations and participate in treatment simultaneously.

We will conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment to determine the most effective counseling or treatment. 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 sessions 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.

Financial assistance may be available. (Limited based on eligibility).

Outpatient Groups: Monday & Tuesday: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
