SUBSTANCE USE
SPECIALIZING IN EARLY INTERVENTION
COUNSELING
Substance use counseling is centered around support for those seeking to break free from drug or alcohol addiction. This specific type of therapy can be for those simply struggling, as part of a rehabilitation program, or as follow up treatment after an inpatient program. You will work with a licensed substance use counselor in an outpatient setting to address behavior patterns and mental health, develop treatment goals and practice positive coping strategies.
EVALUATION, REFERRAL, AND SUBSTANCE USE URINALYSIS
EVALUATION AND REFERRAL
This 60-90 minute intake session is a comprehensive substance use screening using a standardized psychotherapy measurement tool (LOCI-3). In addition to a honest and compassionate conversation, clients will be asked a series of questions designed to help our therapists formulate the level of care needed. Based on the interview and testing, the therapist will use their expertise to determine what type of intervention, if any, is warranted. Recommendations may include intensive outpatient treatment centers, group therapy or weekly maintenance therapy, and may or may not be available through Bridges Counseling. A comprehensive report will be provided, valid for school clearance as well.
EVALUATION, REFERRAL AND DRUG TESTING
In addition to the above, a comprehensive urinalysis can be done on site during the evaluation process by an independent lab partner, Scientia Dx (www.scientiadx.com). This is a more comprehensive drug test, not just a screening, and will look for more than 90 substances in the body and provide a full report. (This is a separately billed service).
DRUG TESTING ONLY
Easy and discreet, a urinalysis is completed in-house and shipped overnight to the Scientia Dx lab who will then identify possible illicit drug use and/or medication misuse. Accurate and rapid results utilizing the most advanced LC-MS/MS technology which allows for precise quantitative testing with the highest levels of control and compliance.
