Group Programming

All sessions are held and facilitated via video connection. Group sessions currently are scheduled for adult clients, but I have expertise and experience with adolescent and young adult treatment groups. Please enquire if any of these groups are being scheduled or targeted for scheduling.

Adult Treatment Groups are held on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings. Each group is a 60-minute session. The focus of the process-oriented groups varies, addressing decision-making, mental health issues, abstinence and recovery topics. (see the Substance Abuse Page for more specifics).

The cost of each group session is $60.

Group treatment may be utilized for a variety of purposes and lengths of time. However, if a structured time frame is needed and appropriate, the following is a formula I have used in the past.

Typical Requirements for group program completion:

Phase I: A minimum of 16 weeks spent improving functioning in the following areas*:

Abstinence or sobriety from all substances
Improved family interactions
Improved academic or work performance
Improved mental and physical health
Participation in treatment

*Other goals may be developed individually based on the client needs.

After completion of Phase I, the treatment plan will be reviewed to determine if Phase II aftercare will be utilized. This is where the client will return to groups on a monthly basis for a minimum of four months. Typically, this will be set for the first week of each month.
