Alcohol/Drug Assessments
Assessing alcohol and drug use disorders typically involves an in-person interview, a review of court records, and administration of a standardized assessment tool. The purpose of a professional assessment is to determine if a problem exists and if so, how severe it is, and what level of intervention might be needed.
20 Hour Education -PRI
Prime For Life (PRI) is designed to gently but powerfully challenge common beliefs and attitudes that directly contribute to high-risk alcohol and drug use. A primary goal of Prime For Life is prevention of any type of alcohol or drug problem. Prime For Life’s intervention component focuses on self-assessment to help people understand and accept the need for change. Intensive prevention services, group counseling or treatment may be necessary to support these changes.
Marijuana Education Course
The design of this program “Just Marijuana” is to provide accurate information about marijuana to the group participants and to provide them an opportunity to evaluate their relationship to marijuana. Marijuana is viewed as the number one illegal drug in the nation.
The psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. This course discusses amotivational syndrome and impairments in both short and long term memory caused by the use of marijuana. Such serious impairments can contribute to vehicle accidents and conflicts with the law authorities. Participants will be confronted with their methods of choice making and decision techniques in such major life decisions as psychoactive chemical use.

Many court-ordered substance abusers must attend these intensive programs as part of their sentence which can last from eight weeks to six months. IOP includes screening to discover the extent of the addiction and, if other mental health problems exist, regular evaluations of the patient’s progress by trained substance abuse counselors, and orientation to community services.
