Providing Strengths-Based Services to Individuals and Families to Support Recovery and Wellness Efforts
We offer comprehensive services to people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives resulting from their use of substances. HCRS’ Substance Use services include education, assessment, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, as well as referral services. The goals of this program are to help you make choices that support reduced risk, improved health, and recovery from alcohol and substance use to promote wellness.
Co-occurring & Collaborative Treatment
Experience and research indicate that substance use issues often occur alongside mental health issues, are best treated when family or other supportive people are involved, and that services need to be tailored to match someone’s readiness to make changes.
At HCRS, we embrace the philosophy that recovery is not just about stopping your substance use. True recovery means a willingness to look at how you think, make decisions, engage in relationships, address your self-care, set boundaries with others, and open yourself up to possibilities.
What to Expect When You Come for Services
An experienced counselor will help you examine how your drug or alcohol use affects your life. In a respectful, confidential, and non-threatening manner, our staff will collaborate with you to set your treatment goals, whether to get a better understanding of your relationship with substances, find strategies to achieve and maintain abstinence from substances, reduce your risk associated with substance use through harm reduction activities or to meet various legal requirements, such as license reinstatement, probation, or DCF requirements.
