Outpatient Program

We’ll follow a thorough intake process to determine if you're a good fit for our substance use counseling and outpatient program.
Your assessment will include a:
Prospective Client Interview

Evaluate the individual's willingness and preparedness for change by exploring their motivations, past efforts, and current mindset regarding recovery. Discuss their commitment to program guidelines and procedures, emphasizing the importance of adherence to structured expectations, accountability measures, and community engagement.

Provide a comprehensive overview of insurance details, including current coverage status, eligibility for assistance programs, and available options for financial support. Outline program expectations, such as participation in scheduled activities, adherence to house rules, engagement with peer support, and progression through recovery steps.

Discuss medication considerations by reviewing current prescriptions, ensuring compliance with medical guidance, and addressing any necessary adjustments to align with program policies. Emphasize the role of responsible medication management in supporting recovery and overall well-being.

Substance Use Disorder Evaluation

A DSM Assessment will be conducted as part of the recovery treatment plan to evaluate an individual's mental health status and determine the most appropriate course of care. This assessment follows the criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and helps professionals identify psychological or behavioral conditions that may impact recovery.

Purpose of the DSM Assessment in Recovery Treatment:

  • Establish Diagnosis: Identifies any co-occurring mental health or substance use disorders.
  • Develop a Personalized Treatment Plan: Guides therapeutic interventions based on individual needs.
  • Monitor Recovery Progress: Assists in tracking symptom changes and treatment effectiveness.
  • Ensure Appropriate Support: Helps align the program with medical and psychological best practices.

Assessment Process:

  • Structured interviews with a trained professional.
  • Standardized questionnaires and self-report measures.
  • Clinical observations and history evaluation.
  • Review of medication and past treatments.

This assessment ensures that recovery efforts align with each participant’s specific challenges and strengths, fostering a comprehensive approach to healing. Let me know if you need this information presented differently!

Mental Health Evaluation

Upon admission, a comprehensive assessment and evaluation will be scheduled with our behavioral health partners to ensure that each individual receives the appropriate level of care. This process includes a thorough review of mental health status, substance use history, and overall wellness needs. Licensed professionals will conduct structured interviews, psychological screenings, and personalized evaluations to develop a tailored treatment plan. The assessment will help determine therapeutic approaches, medication considerations, and support services that align with the individual’s recovery journey. By collaborating with experienced behavioral health experts, we ensure that every participant receives the necessary guidance and resources for a strong foundation in healing and long-term recovery.

Insurance Verification or Application

Prior to admission, we will assess your current insurance coverage. If you do not have insurance, you will be required to complete an application, and our charity partner will provide financial assistance for the first three months of premiums. If insurance is not in place, treatment will begin on the first day of the following month. For those with existing insurance, enrollment will proceed upon successful verification. Additionally, all individuals must review and sign the policy and procedure agreement before beginning the program.

My life was at a stand still and I was a lost soul with no direction. Since I came to Padres Place, I have been able to stay sober and focused on my recovery. The staff is very helpful and they care about me and my future. I couldn't have taken the first steps towards my new sober life without Padres Place. I am now part of a family.
