We offer private treatment programs and Employee Assistance Programs.

Level of Care Assessment and Consultation

If you or someone you know is exhibiting behaviors or lifestyles that arecausing concern, PACE can help by providing assessments which may includedrug and alcohol evaluation, psychological testing, psycho-social assessment,and laboratory drug screening.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Morning and evening groups available. The PACE IntensiveOutpatient Program is a comprehensive individualized behavior-based treatmentapproach that branches away from the structured time-based I.O.P. programsemphasizing patient progress and patient behavior, not completion of apre-determined number of sessions.  As well, there is no tiered phasesystem, but a well-orchestrated primary group structure, surrounded by a seriesof focus groups, offering a menu of therapeutic topics directly corresponding topatient needs.  Thus, treatment addresses the patient needs, instead of thepatient meeting the program needs.

Features of the PACE I.O.P.

Partial Hospital Program

The Partial Hospital Program, or “Day Treatment” as it is sometimescalled, consists of day-long substance abuse therapy from 9:30am to 4:00 pm,Monday through Saturday.  The Partial Hospital Program is utilized as atransition from inpatient treatment to the Intensive Outpatient Program,providing the full continuum of care; or as an initial step to recovery forthose unable to attend an inpatient treatment center, but who are medicallyappropriate.

The Partial Hospital Program provides the intensity and therapeutic benefitsof an inpatient treatment center stay without the cost of an overnightstay.  Stabilization is the focus of the Partial Hospital Program, withemphasis upon helping patients develop recovery tools to reduce stress andimprove their coping skills.  Average length of stay is from five to tendays, but is based on individual need.  Persons graduating from the PartialHospital Treatment Program move on to the Intensive Outpatient TreatmentProgram.
