Included in these services are assessments, individual sessions, outpatient group therapy, intensive outpatient programming, aftercare/continuing care, and family sessions.

With a simple phone call! During your initial call, our intake staff will collect basic information, such as demographics and insurance details. You will then be scheduled with an appropriate therapist to conduct your assessment.

Psych and Psych Services accept most private insurances, Medicaid for substance use services, and we offer reasonable self-pay rates as well. Additionally, we currently have existing contracts with most commercial insurance carriers.

IOP is an acronym for intensive outpatient program. IOP is typically recommended for individuals that have been diagnosed with a severe diagnosis related to their drug and/or alcohol use. They have experienced multiple, and repeated consequences and typically have struggled to stop using them in the past.

The general therapeutic approach of group is cognitive behavioral therapy. Treatment will consist of building skills/insight on how to manage symptoms/triggers/cravings, and to develop adequate coping skills and recovery capital.

Aftercare is a follow-up group for all individuals who have recently completed the IOP program, or another type of substance use treatment. Aftercare is developed to help clients deal with day-to-day stressors and focuses on assisting clients to develop long-term recovery skills.

The outpatient group is a weekly 60-minute or 90-minutes groups that is geared to individuals with less severe alcohol/drug concerns but would benefit from some type of treatment. The focus of this group is more psycho-educational in focus and is intended to make clients aware of the possible dangers of substance use, basic elements of addiction, awareness of the situations and/or people in which they may be more likely to use substances, and to formulate life goals that includes a strategy for substance-free living.

All staff members who provide treatment at Psych & Psych are licensed therapists or master’s level social workers and are trained in the areas of substance use and/or mental health issues and thus can provide comprehensive services to the individuals with whom they meet.

The staff at Psych and Psych Services recognize the importance of keeping in contact with referral sources, and after the initial assessment will provide the referral source with appropriate information. During treatment, the clinician will maintain contact with the referrer and give updates regarding client’s attendance, progress towards treatment goals, and an estimate of when client will achieve those goals. When the client has completed treatment, the therapist will provide documentation of successful (or unsuccessful) completion of treatment and what factors determined the outcome of the client’s completion. Please be assured that your confidentiality is protected under applicable state and/or federal laws. In keeping with these guidelines, if you wish

information about your treatment to be shared with others, you must sign an appropriate release of information available in our office.

A full range of outpatient services are available for both adolescents and adults. Groups and individuals are scheduled at convenient times, so that individuals may maintain their employment and academic obligations.

At Psych & Psych Services, we offer guidance and support in the way of treatment to those trying to achieve and maintain sobriety, rebuild relationships and improve their quality of life. We understand that addiction not only affects the person, but also all the people involved with them. It is our mission to provide quality, confidential help that is designed to benefit both the individual and all their loved ones.

Before treatment begins, a Comprehensive Psychosocial Assessment will be conducted with each person interested in our outpatient services. The purpose of this assessment is to identify the service needs and determine the appropriate level of care. If needed, our staff will assist in making community referrals or linking you to the appropriate level of care (services).
