Action Family Counseling, Inc. believes that recovery is a life-long process and affects every area of an individuals’ life. Those affected by chemical dependency and mental illness face the most difficult of life’s passages and knowing when and how to seek help is crucial.
Action Family Counseling INC. is an organization designed to address the needs of adults, adolescents, and their families surrounding chemical dependency and mental health issues.
Our Organization’s primary goals are to maintain abstinence, stabilize co-occurring illnesses, and increase quality of life. We support and reinforce a change in behavior patterns so that adolescents and their families can fully indoctrinate the philosophies and principles needed to remain abstinent and stabilized for life.
We accomplish this by providing an effective treatment approach developed by the Department of Health and Human Services that includes a multi disciplinarian personalized approach by a treatment team. Once a patient is identified, we provide an initial screening and assessment, which allows us to properly diagnose and place patients in the appropriate treatment setting. Once a patient completes our intake process to our residential program he or she receives 24-hour crisis management, Individual counseling, Group Therapy, Family Education and Counseling, Treatment planning, Routine and random toxicology screening, Pharmacotherapy and medication management, Education about AOD and Mental Health issues, Self-help and support group orientation, Case management services, and Discharge service planning with a transitional service plan to our IOP treatment program to ensure a continuum of care.
