Treatment Addresses Trauma
COMBAT funding enables Crittenton to treat clients with financial needs due to loss of employment, exhaustion of insurance benefits or without insurance coverage for substance use counseling, incarceration and other long-term problems that impinge on employment and income status. Clients need substance use services to achieve abstinence from all mind-altering chemicals and to enhance functioning in all areas of their lives. Some are currently involved with the legal system and 80% or more report engaging in illegal activity related to their drug use, as well as violence and/or anger issues.
Treatment addresses the clients and their families' traumas, including previously experienced traumas, along with trauma that occurred during/as a result of the clients' substance use. Clients seek treatment to address isolation, denial, legal issues, stressed family functioning, poor judgment, mental health issues, inadequate coping skills and stress management.
Monitored Recovery
The Intensive Outpatient Program Level of Care services include screening, assessments, treatment planning, group education/counseling, self-help support education and groups, individual sessions, family-counseling, drug screening, recreational/expressive therapies and case-management. Recovery is monitored via randomly collected urine and/or serum drug screens completed in outpatient laboratories or via on-the-spot quick testing. Disposable breathalyzers are also used on an “as needed" basis.
AfterCare
The Drug Counseling Level of Care (AfterCare) is offered to all clients who successfully complete the Intensive Outpatient Program. This is a voluntary recovery support program that clients are encouraged to participate in to continue working on their recovery and any issues that may arise. Random drug testing is also part of the AfterCare level of treatment. Group, individual counseling, individual Family Counseling and self help support are provided as needed in the Drug Counseling Level of Care (AfterCare).

Crittenton utilizes The Hazelden Matrix Model for Teens and Young Adults and the Hazelden Co-Occurring Disorders Model.

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is used for ongoing assessment, individualized treatment planning and targeted specific client needs.
Clients are given written work, reading and homework/tasks to complete between sessions. Three primary written components of a client’s Treatment Plan are their Using History, Recovery Plan and Relapse Prevention Plan. Additional treatment assignments are also included in the Adolescent Matrix Model of Treatment Manual along with written Step Work and attending 12 Step/self-help support groups.
SAMHSA's Anger Management for Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Clients Workbook assignments are used to help clients deal with their anger and violence issues.
