Patients and their families are also involved in groups that help them understand the nature of the addiction in their lives. The treatment team works to help the patient and their family face the reality of the situation and motivates them to continue treatment.

Admissions to Addiction Services are voluntary and can be requested by a physician, family, employer, community agency, court or self-referral. Admissions are based on established criteria without regard to sex, race, creed, national origin or age. Patients must be interviewed and assessed to determine the appropriate level of treatment in Addiction Services. An appointment with an intake counselor is the first step.
