Outpatient Services
Intensive outpatient and family support
Outpatient Services are structured and designed to address the treatment needs of men and women and assist them in their efforts to overcome addiction and mental health issues, meet educational and vocational goals, support family reunification efforts, and sustain their long-term recovery, general health and well-being.
Outpatient services are structured to match the assessed problem severity of each individual and consider the extent of the participant’s available social support as well as employment and family obligations. Services are provided in a flexible schedule, duration, intensity and frequency of group and individual counseling sessions determined by the assessed need of each participant.
Center Point’s Outpatient Services are licensed and certified by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs.
Services Include:
•Evaluation/Assessment - Conducted within a structured and private interview setting by certified and/or licensed counselor to determine the most appropriate and effective level and intensity of care.
•Individualized Treatment Planning - Issues identified in the evaluation/assessment process are addressed through a systematic treatment planning approach, including the development of individualized objectives and goals that assist the client in successfully completing treatment.
•Education Groups - Clients learn about the substance abuse/dependence model and the effects of substance abuse/dependence on their physical and mental health, family, and employment.
•Group Counseling - Clients have an opportunity to develop support networks and obtain feedback in a safe and confidential setting from other clients experiencing similar addiction, mental health and other issues.
•Individual Counseling - Sessions facilitated by a certified counselor or licensed clinician offer clients a therapeutic venue in which to address treatment issues in more depth and to gain further insights. Individual counseling is often used as a means of helping clients come to terms with underlying issues and preparing them to participate more fully in the group process.
• Drug Screens - Random drug screening is conducted on all clients as a means of monitoring treatment compliance and progress.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP serves individuals who require an intensive, structured program. To accommodate those who work, services are provided three evenings each week. Operating from a cognitive-based philosophy, IOP is designed to modify negative thoughts and behavioral patterns which contribute to substance abuse and related psychosocial problems. This program offers a wide range of didactic, experiential learning, and group counseling activities designed to decrease dependence on substances of abuse and the negative behavior patterns typically associated with addictive disorders.
The General Outpatient Program includes individual substance use disorder and mental health counseling and therapy sessions and group-based relapse prevention and on-going support services that promote sustained pro-social growth.
Therapeutic Specialty Courts
Center Point provides treatment and case management services for participants referred from the Marin County Adult Drug Courts and from other therapeutic and specialty courts. Services are offered on a determined frequency schedule, typically between 3 to 4 times each week. Center Point’s court programs include didactic instruction, anger management and conflict resolution training, parenting skills training, domestic violence education, individual and group counseling, and coordinated case management with the judge, attorneys, probation, the child welfare system, and significant others. Drug and specialty court programs provide offenders with an ongoing continuum of care focused on sustained recovery, recidivism and relapse prevention and successful community reintegration.
U.S. District Court
Under contract with the United States District Courts, Northern California and Northern Oklahoma, Center Point provides comprehensive substance use and mental health assessments; outpatient mental health counseling; residential and outpatient substance abuse treatment and; vocational services for federal pretrial defendants, sentenced probationers and parolees.
Post-Treatment Support
Center Point recognizes the overwhelming challenges facing clients as they transition from treatment to independent living. To address this need, a range of Continuing Care and Aftercare services provide relapse prevention support, community integration skills training, and peer affiliation services.
Continuing Care: Recovery Maintenance
Continuing Care services are initiated when participants complete residential or intensive outpatient programs. Weekly groups provide an on-going supportive forum that addresses re-entry issues and concerns. Continuing Care fosters the development of a stable peer support network (including AA & NA), recovery management skills, and provides continuing vocational services.
Family Support
Family reunification is a primary focus at Center Point. In addition to serving individuals, therapeutic and supportive services are provided their families and significant others. Social and recreational events, sponsored by the agency’s Alumni Association, help to facilitate family involvement.
Aftercare Services
A weekly Aftercare Group provides an opportunity for program graduates to address on-going recovery and community integration issues. Graduates are contacted at regular intervals by Center Point to record post-treatment progress and significant changes in their lives. Clients who complete treatment at Center Point become employed tax-paying citizens, active and involved parents, engage in volunteerism, and are registered to vote.
