ADULT SERVICES
Program Philosophy
Recovery from drug or alcohol use occurs over various phases, some
of which are circular. But because drug or alcohol addiction is a lifelong
illness, the recovery process is ongoing, in one form or another.
Treatment at the YMCA Counseling Service is a short-term process
designed to help those living with addiction develop the necessary
skills to successfully maintain their ongoing recovery. We offer both
Intensive Outpatient Treatment and Non-Intensive Outpatient
Treatment and can individualize a person’s treatment plan and
schedule to meet his or her needs.
Many positive changes often come out of the treatment process - new
friendships, the discovery of new abilities and interests, and the
realization that life can be good without being viewed through the
haze of alcohol or drugs. We also refer clients in need to other
treatment facilities for specialized care, and work with twelve-step
programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous to
provide continuing recovery services for our participants.
