Justice Services' cognitive behavioral approach to substance abuse assumes that individuals with addictive problems are able to assume responsibility for changing their behavior. During the screening, a feeling of rapport and trust is established between the client and the therapist. Therapeutic communication, motivational interviewing, and awareness of client's change state are essential to the therapeutic relationship, motivational enhancement, and preparing the client for Cognitive Behavioral Treatment.
Screenings are conducted by appointment Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The Screenings are approximately 1-1½ hours in length and consist of an in-depth interview by a skilled professional and the administration of an appropriate, approved assessment instrument.
Justice Services meets the special needs of clients through referral to appropriate community resources. It is Justice Services' policy to maintain for seven (7) years complete and confidential documentation of the screening results for all participants. |
