Alcohol Drug Council - High Gain Project

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Alcohol Drug Council - High Gain Project

The Alcohol Drug Council & the High Gain Project has been providing treatment services to alcoholics, addicts, family members, and to our community since 1974. The Council is one of the oldest non-profit , independent agencies in the county dealing with prevention of addiction and associated negative behaviors. Designed as a multiple-functional, community based treatment center allowing for a variety of services. The Alcohol Drug Council-High Gain Project, is partially funded by Los Angeles County Alcohol & Drug Program Administration, offers a multitude of services, including our Community Based Alcohol Drug Outreach Project, “JumpStarts”.

PROGRAMS OFFERED:

ADOPTS-ALCOHOL/DRUG OUTPATIENT PROGRAM TREATMENT SERVICES

ADOPTS is a drug-free outpatient treatment program. Our ADOPTS Program focus is to treat the symptoms of the progressive aspects of addictive diseases. ADOPTS is designed by utilization of Alcohol/Drug Education, Group Counseling, Cognitive, Behavioral, and Motivational Counseling techniques to assist our client to fully recovery from the disease of addiction. Participation is voluntary and family participation is encouraged. ADOPTS provides:

Individualized Attention & Treatment Planning Include:

Family History
Emotional/Behavioral Evaluation
Individualized treatment planning focuses on chemical abstinence, physical and emotional health, family relationships, social and peer group, work and financial.

Education Focuses on Five Key Areas:

Disease Concept
Psychological/Emotional Aspects
Family Disease and Co-dependency
AA and other 12 Step Programs
Social/Recreational Rehabilitation

Group Dynamics/Workshops:

Behavior Change
Express Feelings
Building a Support Network
Continuing Recovery Discussions
After Care Support

DRINKING DRIVER TREATMENT PROGRAM

PROGRAM GOALS:

One of ten adult Californians and one out of six adolescents is psychologically dependent on, or physically addicted to, one or more mood altering substances. Driving an automobile under-the-influence is probably the single most salient indicator of the magnitude of this problem. Drinking (and using) drivers endanger themselves and others in ways that are visible to all and catastrophic in their consequences. It is clear that any agency or program dealing with DUI client population has a dual agenda with regard to client outcomes. Firstly, all clients, whatever their prognosis as to alcohol/drug dependency, must become both cognitively and emotionally aware that responsible use of alcohol and other drugs absolutely rules out driving a car while under the influence. They must leave the program convinced that there are no exceptions to this rule, no special circumstances, and no safe level of intoxication. Secondly, all clients are guided through an examination of their own reasons for using alcohol and other drugs. Insofar as is humanly possible, clients should arrive at an informed decision about their own actual or possible dependency on psychoactive chemicals, especially alcohol. This direct method works as a sound clinical procedure and is validated by the ADC High Gain Project experience since 1974. And, we believe, allows clients to assume responsibility.

DUI TREATMENT PROGRAMS AVAILABLE

Wreckless - 12 hours Alcohol Drug Education
First Offender - 3-6-9 month
Second Offender - 12 or 18 month
Multiple Offender - 30 month
Customized treatment program available
(Out state DWI/DUI provider)

WORKSHOPS OFFERED:

Our weekly 1.5 hour workshops are offered to help participants identify, understand and conquer the obstacles of recovery. Workshops are designed to teach skills for sobriety through education, self-discovery and utilization of problem solving tools. Participation is voluntary and confidential.

“Life Skills & Recovery Workshop”
Our recovery discussion focus:
Relapse Prevention
Nature of Addictive Diseases
Co-Dependency
Application of 12 Step Process
Communication Skills
Continuing Recovery Plans

“Anger Management Workshop”
This workshop was developed from a current Domestic Violence prevention program. Our program has been enhanced by incorporating a chemical dependency recovery emphasis as we have discovered that the two are many times closely related. The program emphasizes Time Outs, Communication Skills, Stress Reduction, Appropriate Reaction, Cultural and Family Anger/Violence History, High Risk Anger Situations and Development of Alternative Behavioral Responses.

They believe that effective treatment addresses the total person - physical, emotional, psychological, vocational, social and spiritual and that through the program, the individual learns to apply healthy methods of dealing with life in order to become a productive, sober member of their family and community.
