Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services
 Program Description
Outpatient treatment services are available adolescents and adults who are residents of Deschutes County. Services consist of intake evaluation, individual, group and family counseling.
Program Philosophy
- Addiction to alcohol or other drugs is shown by a person's not being able to control use in spite of harmful consequences.
- Alcohol and other drug abuse effects all parts of a person' life.
- Treatment that works must address all parts of the problem.
- Recovery depends on the person staying free of all mood changing drugs, unless taken for valid medical reasons.
- Being clean and sober is only the first step. Ongoing evaluation occurs to ensure that the client's treatment needs are being met.
- Alcohol and other drug dependence effects the whole family. Education and treatment are offered to all persons living with the person in treatment.
- Self-help programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are used to aid the individual in forming a lifelong support system.
Program Requirements
Having an evaluation does not always mean that an individual will be admitted to treatment. After the evaluation, clients will be referred to the treatment that will best meet their needs:
- Other alcohol/drug treatment (detoxify, residential care).
- Mental health treatment.
- Medical treatment.
Treatment Fees
Fees for outpatient alcohol and other drug treatment are covered by the Oregon Health Plan. In certain cirumstances, for those not covered by the Health Plan, fees will be based on a sliding fee scale which is based on the client's income. No one will be denied service because they cannot pay.
