3 4486 HCH Counseling Brochure Inside pg1-2.qxp 6/10/05 4:05 PM Page 1 To Our Friends and Neighbors... It s no secret: the misuse of alcohol, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and illegal drugs even food as well as other forms of compulsive behavior, often cause serious problems for individuals and their family members alike. Lesser known is how every year a growing number of older adults are hospitalized for adverse drug reactions and/or serious mental health problems due to prescription medications. Are there risk factors to watch for? Yes. Sons of alcoholic fathers are four times more likely to become alcoholics than sons of non-alcoholic fathers, and daughters of alcoholic mothers are three times more likely to become alcoholics than non-alcoholic daughters. One-third of food addicts are addicted to alcohol or other drugs, and one-third of cocaine addicts are anorexic or bulemic. And of course, the most common form of food addiction is compulsive overeating. A majority of adults who are separated and divorced have an alcoholic family member. Women with past experiences of low self-esteem, guilt or shame have difficulty establishing and maintaining close relationships, and also have poor parenting skills. The Counseling Center can help. If you or your family is afflicted with these and similar problems, I urge you to call us today. We have proven effective ways of healing the hurt, stopping the pain, and finding long-term solutions.

It is designed to avoid and prevent potentially dangerous medical and behavioral consequences due to the discontinuation of drugs of dependence, offered to individuals who are at low-risk for seizures, DTs, and other medical complications.

8 4486 HCH Counseling Brochure Inside pg6.qxp 6/10/05 4:12 PM Page 1 Intervention Services A program for family and close friends of individuals who are alcoholics and/or drug abusers. Intervention services provide family members and friends with the information, education, tools and skills to help an individual face his or her addiction and receive treatment. The program includes three visits with a certified counselor. During the first two hourly visits, individuals participating in the intervention learn about alcohol and drug abuse and addiction, how the addiction impacts the family, how family members prepare for the intervention, and the options available to help someone with an alcohol or drug problem. Each step of the way, family members have the option to stop the intervention or continue to the final step, which is the intervention itself. The intervention takes place with the substance abuser and results in admission to one of our outpatient programs or appropriate level of treatment.

Adolescents who are using or abusing mood-altering substances will be referred to an early intervention program to stop the progression of the disease. Adolescents who are dependent will enter the day program offered Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This includes 10 hours of direct education provided by a teacher and coordinated with the referring school district, and 20 hours of drug and alcohol counseling weekly.
