WE VIEW ADDICTION AS A DISEASE, A CHRONIC DYSFUNCTION OF THE BRAIN SYSTEM THAT INVOLVES REWARD, MOTIVATION, AND MEMORY. IT’S ABOUT THE WAY YOUR BODY CRAVES A SUBSTANCE OR BEHAVIOR, ESPECIALLY IF IT CAUSES A COMPULSIVE OR OBSESSIVE PURSUIT OF “REWARD” AND LACK OF CONCERN OVER CONSEQUENCES. THE INDIVIDUAL REMAINS POWERLESS.

When substance abuse counseling and assessments are court-ordered, a certified treatment provider conducts a comprehensive interview with the client. The provider examines the client's substance abuse and criminal history, driving record, and arrest report. Additionally, the client may be asked to undergo a drug and alcohol urinalysis screening. Using the interview, supporting documents, and urinalysis results, the treatment provider recommends a specific treatment program or counseling services.
If you're a DOT worker who has tested positive for alcohol or drugs on a screening and needs a DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Evaluation to ensure safe return to work, we can help. The first SAP evaluation typically lasts two hours, and a follow-up session will be arranged after you have completed all of the recommended educational or counseling services.
Counseling for substance abuse and addiction offers individuals the chance to receive personal support and growth during difficult periods in their lives. It can assist in managing a variety of personal topics, including anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, challenges in marriage and relationships, parenting struggles, academic issues, and career changes.
