Is the substance abuse program AA based?
We highly recommend that clients attend AA and require it of intensive outpatient clients. We do not work the twelve steps with clients, we feel that should be done with a sponsor in the AA program. At Counseling Resources we focus on “whole-person” recovery, examining all aspects of the client’s life to resolve issues that may act as chemical use triggers. We educate clients regarding the addiction process and encourage examination of the client’s pattern of chemical use.
