Assessment evaluating degree of chemical dependency problem. Before treatment begins, a comprehensive Substance Abuse and Psycho-social history will be conducted with each person interested or referred to Gem City Counseling Center for our outp
atient services. The purpose of the assessment is to identify service needs and determine if the individual has a substance abuse or chemical dependency problem. PRIMARY OUTPAITENT TREATMENT for the Chemically Dependent
The PRIMARY TRACK is appropriate for those who are diagnosed as chemically dependent and are committed to maintaining abstinence from drugs and alcohol throughout the course of the programming. Participants are able to remain in their home environment and continue their present work schedule. The PRIMARY TRACK is an individualized program for adolescent and adults. They attend group sessions along with individual sessions weekly. Suboxone Medication-Assisted Treatment Program
Suboxone is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of prescription pain medication dependence, he**in addiction, and/or other opioid dependence. Gem City Counseling Suboxone Medication-Assisted Treatment Program is an extended outpatient detoxification and maintenance program coordinated with physicians certified to prescribe Suboxone. Our program includes individualized Psycho-social counseling, medical monitoring, and group therapy.

Brief Therapy for Substance Abuse Issues. Individuals who are substance abusers and appear to be at risk for chemical dependency are potential clients for this short-term therapy. This treatment focuses on education about the addiction cycle. It will help participants develop a sober support system and make healthier choices – both of which will aid in preventing chemical dependency in the future. Intervention on Abuse
Individuals assessed possessing a history of chemical abuse, DUI arrests, positive drug screens at the work site, and/or appearing at risk for chemical dependency would be potential clients in this level of care. Education about the disease of chemical dependency, developing a sober support system, and making healthy choices is presented through Intervention on Abuse. Other individuals may be chemically dependent but in strong denial. Staff and concerned persons may not have sufficient data for a diagnosis of chemical dependency. Thus, this level of care proves useful in providing intervention, or in ruling out chemical dependency. Intervention on Abuse will be provided to individuals as needed with flexible scheduling. Continuing Care Group” Aftercare” – Help for Day-to-Day Living. The majority of cases clients enter this group for a period of three months following primary treatment in order to solidify consistent recovery as a lifestyle. This group will meet once weekly. This is to be in combination with recommended 12 step meetings and sponsor contact. Again, the goal will be to offer groups accommodating varied work schedules. Clients may also be referred directly into continuing care as deemed appropriate through the initial assessment. In addition to the group, referrals will be made to mental health, medical, and other various services as needed. Unique Treatment Programs for Adults and Adolescents. Gem City Counseling Center offers a variety of treatments to help adults as well as adolescents suffering from drug and/or alcohol problems. Therapy for Clients and Their Support Network of Family and Friends. We believe this is an important part of addiction treatment and all are encouraged to seek private counseling to work through individual and family issues.
