Eligibility
Requirements |
Outpatient Services: residents of
Lawrence and surrounding counties, 13 years or
older, who are in need of outpatient drug and/or
alcohol treatment.
Eligibility Requirements: Outpatient
Highland Outpatient Services accept persons who
are 13 years of age or older, who reside in
Lawrence County (or surrounding region/ counties
with whom a contract exists), are in need of
outpatient alcohol and other drug treatment and
supportive services. Candidates for treatment
may include those who have completed prior
treatment program, including rehabilitation,
halfway house or outpatient programs. Both
intensive and regular outpatient services will
be available, and based on an assessment, they
would be admitted to the appropriate treatment
level.
For example, those with no withdrawal risk;
stable emotional, behavioral and biomedical
conditions; that seem to be open and willing to
accept treatment; would be a good candidate for
regular outpatient treatment. This would be a
client who would appear to be able to maintain
abstinence with minimal support and has a
relatively safe and supportive place to live.
A candidate for intensive outpatient care would
include a person with minimal withdrawal risk
and enough resistance that requires a structured
program. The client’s environment may be
unsupportive, and they may need close monitoring
to reduce their likelihood of relapse. This
client would require an outpatient setting which
would be more intensive than regular outpatient,
but less intensive than residential. The client
may qualify for IOP treatment services even if
they have not been in a prior treatment program.
The program is a voluntary one, however,
admission of clients who are compelled by other
legal authorities are accepted when the client
agrees to this arrangement and demonstrates a
willingness to participate in the treatment
program, attend scheduled activities, and work
on treatment goals.
The physically challenged will be accepted to
the program to the extent that the physical
structure of the facility and the staff can
accommodate their special needs. The offices are
wheelchair accessible. Every effort will be made
to consider and accommodate a candidate who is
physically challenged. Candidates with serious
physical or mental conditions may not be
accepted, depending upon the extent of the
condition and the ability of the program to meet
special needs. Highland Outpatient does accept
dually diagnosed clients, provided the primary
diagnosis is alcoholism and/or drug addiction.
Candidates with certain mental or psychiatric
disorders, specifically those with retardation,
those who suffer from primary mental illness
(other than alcohol or drug dependency), and
those with personality disorders which are
exacerbated by intensive social interaction will
not be admitted. Those who are considered highly
dangerous to themselves or others (i.e. suicidal
or homicidal) will not be admitted. |
