Services Offered
Mental Health
Mental health is a large component of addiction treatment services. The trained professionals at CKF Addiction Treatment will provide a mental health assessment to potential patients. In this assessment our staff will look at a patient's behavior, thinking, and other factors to help determine the best therapy.
Evaluation
A psychological examination will ask questions regarding a patient's biological, physical and social components as well as include an inquiry of personal history and family history.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is one-on-one counseling provided to the patient based on a treatment program established with a licensed counselor based on the patient's specific needs. Individual therapy approaches may include 12-Step Recovery, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Readiness for Change, among others.
Anger Management
This eight-week program is designed to help the client learn to manage anger effectively, to stop violence or the threat of violence, to develop self-control over thoughts and actions and to receive support from others in a group counseling environment. Group counseling can be a successful approach in anger management. Group counseling will have a trained leader conducting each session and unlike family therapy, members of the group don't know one another. Group counseling sessions can be conducted in varied therapeutic settings and levels of care. Group counseling provides motivation and peer support to the person dealing with anger.
Individual Counseling Sessions
These counseling sessions provide the patient with an individualized approach to treatment. Some counseling methods include, behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other treatments to help the person living with addiction evaluate behavior, examine triggers and develop strategies to cope without using drugs or alcohol.
Group Counseling Sessions
Group therapy can be a successful approach to overall substance abuse treatment. Group therapy will have a trained leader conducting each session and unlike family therapy, members of the group don't know one another. Group therapy sessions can be conducted in varied therapeutic settings and levels of care. Group therapy provides motivation and peer support to the patient.
Peer Mentoring
Peer mentoring is most easily recognized in 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. In these peer relationships, support is provided by those in recovery who are maintaining sobriety, offering motivation, support and tactics for avoiding substance abuse.
ACHESS Phone Application
ACHESS is an addiction recovery support available on demand through a mobile device. Peer support is an important part of a successful recovery and through ACHESS, patients can access counselors and peers to provide them support as needed.
Fees and Payment
CKF Addiction Treatment utilizes a sliding scale based on a client's income to determine the cost of treatment. There is also state funding available to those clients who can verify that their income is 200% of the national poverty level or below.
CKF Addiction Treatment does accept insurance and many types of insurance cover drug and alcohol treatment services. Check with your insurance carrier to confirm what coverage is available or bring your insurance information with you to our office and the staff will be happy to assist you in verifying coverage for treatment services.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
