Schedule Appointment

“Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem.”
-Virginia Satir

The assessment usually takes an hour and a half. It is recommended that a parent or significant other accompanies adolescent or  adult to the assessment. A drug screen might be recommended during the assessment to rule out or confirm substance abuse. There is a $ 99.00 cost for the 10 panel urine drug screen. Our comprehensive state of the art drug screens can test for alcohol use and over 300 types of drugs in the system but the price varies based on the substances that are being tested.

The staff can also assist in verifying the benefits and insurance coverage for the recommended level of care.
