Clients attend either for 1-2 days (up to 8 hours) per week (OPDC), or 3-4 days (up to 15 hours) per week (Intensive Outpatient) for substance abuse treatment services. Clients enrolled in our program attend group counseling sessions, weekly individual sessions, and are monitored during collection of urine samples for instant or laboratory testing. Recurring didactic and processing group session topics include:
Aftercare/Relapse prevention,
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Employment/Work Readiness,
Meditation/Icebreaker,
Men’s & Women’s Group; and,
Stress management/Coping skills.

Group sessions for the OPDC program are run Monday through Saturday from 9am to 12pm and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 4:30pm to 7:30 pm.

Treatment clients with GECS meet once per week with their assigned counselor for an individualized one-on-one session. Topics for individual sessions vary depending on the client’s needs and goals for treatment. Counseling staff work with referring State agencies, Hospitals, Inpatient programs, and other Treatment Providers in the area to coordinate care and, when necessary, transition clients to another facility if GECS is unable to meet their needs.

Monitored urine drug screen (UDS) services are provided during all treatment program hours. Instant tests immediately provide verified Positive or Negative results, without levels, for a standard panel of drugs. Laboratory tests provide verified Positive or Negative results, with levels, for a full panel of drugs. Beyond the standard panel, laboratory testing also includes alcohol (ETG/ETS), Fentanyl, K2/Spice (synthetic marijuana), and Tramadol panels. Laboratory results are returned to GECS, on average, in five business days.

Clients enrolled for OPDC and IOP services may also enroll in our Anger Management program.
