Substance Abuse Recovery

Substance Abuse Assessment & Treatment

Still Waters Counseling offers counseling for individuals and families affected by substance abuse, taking into account the whole person, including their biological, psychological, social, and familial aspects.

Our qualified staff collaborates with the client and referring source to develop an individualized plan of outpatient substance abuse treatment, which addresses identified problem areas.  Using both a holistic and systems perspective, clinicians at Still Waters Counseling take into account the client’s family background and issues of co-existing diagnoses to provide the best possible outcomes for the client.

The following aspects are included, as appropriate, in an outpatient recovery program at Still Waters Counseling:

• Assessment services, including a comprehensive evaluation of substance use, abuse and dependence, as well as assessment of co-occurring psychological or emotional disorders.
• Outpatient services, provided through individual, couple and family therapy.
• Educational components of treatment, including progression of addiction, recovery planning and relapse prevention.
• Counseling for family members affected by the substance use.
• Referrals to additional community resources as needed, to assist in meeting treatment goals
• Driver’s license evaluations may be done on a stand-alone basis. *

Driver’s License Evaluations

If you have been charged with a substance use related offense you may be required to obtain an alcohol screening or substance abuse evaluation. You will need to satisfy the substance abuse evaluation before you can get your driver’s license restored. Still Waters Counseling is recognized by the State of Michigan to conduct such evaluations. One of our clinicians will complete a substance use disorder evaluation form which must be submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State for consideration at your driver’s license restoration hearing.
