DACC provides continuing aftercare for up to a year after entering any of our programs.
Aftercare Definition - From National Library of Medicine & SAMSHA
Aftercare, or continuing care, is the stage following discharge, when the client no longer requires services at the intensity required during primary treatment. A client is able to function using a self-directed plan, which includes minimal interaction with a counselor. Counselor interaction takes on a monitoring function. Clients continue to reorient their behavior to the ongoing reality of a pro-social, sober lifestyle. Aftercare can occur in a variety of settings, such as periodic outpatient aftercare, relapse/recovery groups, 12-Step and self-help groups, and halfway houses. Whether individuals completed primary treatment in a residential or outpatient program, they have at least some of the skills to maintain sobriety and begin work on remediating various areas of their lives. Work is intrapersonal and interpersonal as well as environmental. Areas that relate to environmental issues, such as vocational rehabilitation, finding employment, and securing safe housing, fall within the purview of case management.
Because case managers interact with the client in the community, they are in a unique position to see the results of work being done in aftercare groups and provide perspective about the client's functioning in the community. Recent findings suggest that the case management relationship may be as valuable to the client during this phase of recovery as that with the addictions counselor (Siegal et al., 1997; Godley et al., 1994). Aftercare is important in completing treatment both from a funding standpoint (many funders refuse to pay for aftercare services), as well as from the client's perspective.
Abstaining from drugs and alcohol while in treatment is expected. Urine screens and breathalyzers may be randomly requested. Upon entering all ASAM Level I categories, which include: Significant Risk, High Risk, and ASAM Level 2.1 (I.O.P.). ALL patients are required to submit to a drug screen and/or breathalyzer test.
DACC has the ability to perform the following tests for court, probation and personal use:
Breathalyzer
Drug Screen (Instant)
Immuno-EtG (Immuoassay screen for EtG)
Urinalysis Quantification
If you received a ticket for possession of an illegal drug, underage possession of alcohol, or public intoxication, DACC can help you through the process before you step in front of a judge.
IT IS YOUR CHOICE to be proactive and choose your own SUPR Licensed Evaluator* and treatment provider, or you can wait until the judge orders you where to go.
*In the state of Illinois, Cook and DuPage Counties' initial DUI Evaluations must be completed by their approved Evaluators
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are employee benefit programs offered by many employers, typically in conjunction with a health insurance plan. EAPs are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being. EAPs generally include assessment, short-term counseling and referral services for employees and their household members.
Employees and their household members may use EAPs to help manage issues that could adversely impact their work and personal lives. EAP counselors typically provide assessment, support, and if needed, referrals to additional resources. These programs are becoming increasingly more common in today’s worksites, and as the field grows, the responsibilities of employee assistance professionals are expanding as well.
