What is the Intervention Program?
The Intervention Program is a program designed to help those who are in the earliest stages of change. Those who may benefit from this program are those that feel they don’t have a problem, those that need to fulfill requirements for Probation or Parole, those that are tired of being told they have a problem, those that aren’t sure they are ready to make changes, and those that have tried several times to make changes before and haven’t been successful.
Referrals to the program are made by competing a Level of Care Assessment with a Case Manger from Washington Drug & Alcohol Commission, as well as the Criminal Justice System.
The curriculum is based on Prochaska and DiClemente’s research (1984) and development of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and is presented in a psychoeducational format by a drug and alcohol professional.
The program is held at the drug and alcohol conference room from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Participation is by referral only and space is limited with a maximum of 25 participants in any one session. Intervention Group sessions are held the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. For additional information, please call 724-221-1181 x110.
