Outpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment Program

The Silver Cross Hospital Outpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment Program offers the full spectrum of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Services including:

DUI Evaluations:

To obtain significant and relevant information about the use of alcohol or drugs, to select an appropriate recommendation for the client to the circuit court of venue or the Office of the Secretary of State.

Risk Education (Minimal Risk):

To provide educational information to the DUI offender regarding the effect of drugs on self and others.

For non-problematic individuals, the educational information is offered to heighten their awareness of their own activities in the hopes that this, along with completion of an Individual Action Plan, will act as a deterrent against future offenses.

For those individuals assessed as problematic users, the purpose of the series is to provide information that they can use to more closely examine their own use patterns and eventually, to make a determination as to whether or not they can safely use alcohol or other substances in the future.

Level .05 (Moderate Risk):

Sub-clinical or pre-treatment designed to explore and address problems or risk factors that appear to be related to substance use and to assist the individual in recognizing the harmful consequences of inappropriate substance use.

Level I (Significant Risk):

Non-residential substance abuse treatment consisting of face-to-face clinical services.

Level II (Intensive Outpatient):

See Intensive Outpatient Program information.

We also provide Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Services.

This program is appropriate for individuals who have experienced a negative consequence related to their use of substances, but who do not have a diagnosis of chemical dependence or abuse (i.e. someone who has been arrested for possession of a controlled substance, or failed a urine drug screen at work, but who is not experiencing any other impairment in other significant life areas). The goal of the program is to provide the individual with information so that in the future they may be able to make informed choices regarding their behavior.
