First we will describe the SUBSTANCE ABUSE/CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY [SA/CD] service.
Then we’ll describe the easiest way to make the referral.

Day Treatment is the treatment for those just starting recovery. It is an intensive program to help a client get free of chemicals.
Day Treatment is provided by a staff which is dedicated and experienced, dedicated to working with the client fifteen hours per week—three hours a day—in order to help commit to recovery.
One of the unique features of Shorehaven is that our entire AODA staff is dually trained in mental health and AODA. So we have true capacity to work with clients with DUAL DISORDERS – chemical dependency and mental disorder.
We have two levels of Day Treatment. One of the groups is devoted to more mentally ill patients.
Group Therapy helps change by having other group members provide feedback. Shorehaven has two groups for long term aftercare. One of the groups is for patients with mental illness.
Family Therapy is about change in the family, in the interaction of the members, parenting skills, child behavior.
Addictions affect every member of the family. Family Therapy helps each member to recover from the effects of the addiction and helps support the person in recovery.
- Behavioral Family Therapy
- Brief Therapy
- Solution Focused Family Therapy
- Structural Family Therapy
- Systemic Therapy
5. Marriage and Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy helps change the interaction between partners, changing their conflicts, teaching skills for success in marriage.
Addiction affects the partner of the person who uses. Recovery is a family affair. The spouse or partner is important to help maintain recovery and needs his or her own help to recover from addiction.
Psychiatrists provide medication which help change symptoms.
Current medications such as Revia and Campral are helpful for reducing cravings for alcohol, will Suboxone is a leading treatment for opiate addiction.
7. Psychological Assessment and Testing
Psychologists do in-depth assessment of personality in order to make recommendations for change.
EAP counselors help with substance abuse assessments for those referred due to workplace problems.
9. Substance Abuse Professional
The Department of Transportation requires a specialized assessment and approach when a transportation worker (trucking) or airport worker has a positive drug test.
