Substance Use
Specializing In Early Intervention
Substance abuse and addiction is compulsive drug and/or alcohol use that leads to significant disruptions in daily living and requires intervention as it becomes progressive. Most of the 20.6 million people in the US with an addiction are unable to find ways to overcome it. Even recreational substance use can easily become abuse, and later addiction. We offer individualized therapy for emerging and ongoing issues relating to substance use as well as comprehensive, outpatient Crisis Prevention through our partnership with ScientiaDx and our evaluation, testing, and referral services.
Substance use counseling is centered around support for those seeking to break free from drug or alcohol addiction. This specific type of therapy can be for those simply struggling, as part of a rehabilitation program, or as follow up treatment after an inpatient program. You will work with a licensed substance use counselor in an outpatient setting to address behavior patterns and mental health, develop treatment goals and practice positive coping strategies.
Evaluation Services
Our lab partner provides the most discreet testing of over 90+ substances while detecting tampering attempts and rapid test results within 1-3 days.
We offer three levels of evaluation as described below.
Evaluation and Referral
This 60–90 min intake features a comprehensive substance use screening via the LOCI-3 tool. Through a compassionate, honest interview and testing, our therapists determine the appropriate level of care. Options may include intensive outpatient programs, group care, or weekly therapy, available at Bridges or externally. Includes a comprehensive final report valid for school clearance.
Evaluation, Drug Testing & Referral
In addition to the comprehensive interview and testing, an urinalysis can be done on site during the evaluation process, which is then sent to our independent lab partner, ScientiaDx (www.scientiadx.com). This is a comprehensive drug test, not just a screening, and will look for more than 90 substances in the body, and provide a full report. (This is a separate service, billed directly by ScientiaDx if applicable.)
Drug Testing Only
Easy and discreet, a urinalysis is completed in-house and shipped overnight to the Scientia Dx lab who will then identify possible illicit drug use and/or medication misuse. ScientiaDx performs accurate and rapid results utilizing the most advanced LC-MS/MS technology which allows for precise quantitative testing with the highest levels of control and compliance.
