SEABHS… SOLUTIONS CLOSE TO HOME
Chemical Dependency Services
SEABHS substance abuse treatment programs are committed to improving the quality of life for the people we serve in a respectful, caring and sensitive manner. Our programs are built around the belief that the problems created by the use of drugs and alcohol can be stopped through the development and implementation of personal plans of recovery.
The services offered include: -Substance Abuse Education: Group sessions focused on education about drugs of abuse and the effects on the individual and family.
-Substance Abuse Education for Families: Education groups for family members offering age-appropriate information to parents, spouses and children from substance abuse affected families.
-Intensive Outpatient Programs: This is designed for those people and families who need a higher level of support. It involves a minimum of 9 hours per week of group treatment in addition to other necessary services the family may need.
-Outpatient Group: A three- hour per week group program with the goal of assisting the individual to develop a relapse prevention plan. People may be referred directly into this service or may be recommended to attend this group as a follow-up to the Intensive Outpatient Program.
-Continuing Care Groups: Usually a follow up group to the Outpatient Group, the goal of the Continuing Care Group is to provide on-going support and counseling to individuals who are transitioning to life after the end of treatment.
-Family Group: Throughout the course of treatment family group is offered. This is to help the entire family, spouses, parents and children, in making the changes needed for a substance-free life. Families receive support, education and counseling.
-Individual Counseling: One- to- one sessions with the Substance Abuse or Mental Health Counselors is offered as an adjunct to the treatment program.
-Family Counseling: This is an important component of the treatment program designed to assist families on an individual basis in making changes, improving communications and developing plans of recovery.
-Residential Treatment: SEABHS believes it is important for people to remain in their communities, families and jobs during the treatment process. However there are times when a person is unable to succeed in the outpatient setting. For those individuals SEABHS counselors assist in finding residential placement through insurance, SEABHS contracts or other public programs. Upon discharge from the residential setting, individuals are encouraged to enroll in the outpatient programs.
In addition to these programs, specialty groups are available through SEABHS or by referral to other agencies. These include Anger Management groups, gender specific groups like Women's Groups, groups for Pregnant and Parenting Women, Parenting Programs, and Psychiatric services.
Fees and Payment
A limited sliding fee scale is available to qualified individuals. Private insurance is accepted. SEABHS also offers many community based services free of charge.
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.
