$1,004,793 spent$1,521,671 earned by the program64% of program spendingThe outpatient drug-free program is designed to provide outpatient services to clients who are in need of substance use disorder services. There are two levels of treatment, level 1.0 allows clients to attend 2-3 times per week for 1.5 hours each, while also having no less than one individual counseling session per month. The 2.1 program has clients receiving approximately 9-12 hours per week of intensive outpatient services in addition to no less than one individual session monthly. All clients receive regular drug testing. While most clients are referred by either probation or children's protective services, some clients are self referred. Many of the participants are co-occurring, which means they have both substance use disorders and serious mental health challenges. Clients undergo an intake, assessment, and work with the therapist to develop a treatment plan that works with their individual needs. Clients receive group and individual services, as well as crisis services when necessary. Clients are drug tested regularly.
