Outpatient Addiction Treatment Program (located in St. George)

Our OASAS-licensed Addiction Treatment Program provides outpatient treatment for community members who are chemically dependent and family members affected by the disease of addiction. The program offers counseling and education in the following: Relapse Prevention, Drug and Alcohol Education, Recovery Skills, Spirituality Workshops, Marijuana Recovery, gender specific groups, Anger Management, Domestic Violence (Batterers Intervention and Prevention Program), DWI/DUI, and Parenting in Recovery groups. Counseling is provided for the individual, the group and the family. We also provide prevention and intervention for adolescents.

Through structured counseling, education, and empathy, the individual and family develop insight and understanding about addiction, new coping skills and redefine their beliefs and value systems around substance use.

We accept Medicaid. Our agency also provides trained workers to assist clients in preparing the Medicaid application. For those who are found to be ineligible for Medicaid, we offer moderate rates for services and a sliding scale based on income and family size. Clients must be able to provide documentation to be found eligible for the sliding scale. No one will be turned away from treatment based on their ability or inability to pay.
