We have four treatment sites where gender-specific Intensive Outpatient services are offered. These services are designed for individuals who have significant addiction symptoms, are medically stable, and not in need of detox or residential services, and can be expected to remain abstinent in an intensive and highly structured outpatient program.

The purpose of treatment is to educate clients about the disease process of alcoholism and drug addiction, to help them understand and accept their own chemical dependence, to explore with them alternative life-styles that do not include alcohol and drug use, and to help them create their own recovery plan. Family involvement in treatment is critical since the quality of sobriety is very influenced by the quality of the relationships within the family.

Each client receives educational seminars regarding the many aspects of addiction, as well as individual, group, employer, and family sessions. Attendance at self-help groups (AA,NA,CA) is also considered an important adjunct to treatment.

HAS offers treatment services in both Spanish and English and provides AA groups in English and Spanish (1x per week within the agency). Clients are expected to attend outside groups as well, as it is important that they begin to build a support system and to establish healthier relationships in a drug-free environment.
