Assessments

Definition: Those procedures by which a counselor/program identifies and evaluates an individual's strengths, weaknesses, problems and needs for the development of the treatment plan.

City/County Alcohol & Drug Programs currently has 3 Chemical Dependency Counselors that conduct assessments. An appointment for an assessment must be made in person. A packet of paperwork is provided to the individual to complete prior to their scheduled appointment. At the time of the appointment, the person must bring their completed paperwork with them. The paperwork consists of demographic information, financial income, client interview questions regarding critical life areas, an alcohol/drug history, confidentiality requirements and release of information forms. The agency utilizes the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria for the Treatment of Substance-Related Disorders to determine the appropriate level of care. An assessment interview typically takes between 50 - 75 minutes to complete. Indigent state funding is available to eligible individuals.

History of Assessments at CCADP

In April 1989, CCADP began to do assessments in the Detox area at 725 N. LaCrosse. In July, 1989, the law changed to require anyone with a .17 BAC or higher to be assessed for chemical dependency. The law also required anyone who refused a PBT or blood test to be assessed. At that time the courts used CCADP to do any court ordered assessments for the county and assessments were scheduled during morning Magistrate court which was presided over by Judge Kluck and conducted in the courthouse by Doug Austin. The assessments required a 5 day turn-around to the courts and Doug would dictate a bio/psycho/social assessment to a secretary who would type them up. In 1990, a second counselor was hired to do assessments for DUI's. In 1992, Assessments moved from Detox to the Courthouse. In 1994, Judge Tice allowed Chemical Dependency assessments to be conducted by other accredited agencies in Rapid City. In 1999, City- County changed the format to utilize the ASAM criteria. In 2002, Assessments were moved back to CCADP in the upstairs portion of the building. . In 2006, assessments are conducted by three counselors in the upstairs portion of CCADP. These three counselors are scheduled for 42 assessments per week; however, due to a high no show rate, they typically complete 20 - 30 assessments each week. Assessments are conducted in the upstairs portion of CCADP on Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Each counselor also spends one day at the Pennington County jail conducting assessments each week.

Continued Care

Continued Care is a program that follows the treatment programs. It is Phase Two of treatment and/or After Care. 

City/County Alcohol and Drug programs introduced the Continued Care program to the jail treatment program in 1991. As of 2005 we served as many as 424 clients for the year for initial and exit interviews and had as many as 979 clients attending groups. Currently, through June, we have served 276 individuals and 531 in group.

Continued Care focuses on relapse prevention and helps the client take the tools they gained in their treatment program and apply those same tools to their everyday lives.

Corrective Thinking

The Corrective Thinking Program is taught by staff certified by Truthought, an organization active in preserving and promoting corrective thinking and behavior in the thoughts and lives of contemporary people. The curriculum is intended to provide information and techniques to help understand the development of behavior patterns, both positive and negative. Techniques such as identifying thinking barriers and "time-bomb" tactics enhance changes toward responsible thinking and decision-making. By applying the principles in this program, it is anticipated that behavior and thinking patterns will be changed. It provides individuals participating in the ten-week program with a summary of core concepts and worksheets to complete in-class assignments. A pre-test/post-test measuring participant knowledge and perceptions is also administered.

DUI Program

In 2004, the Council of Substance Abuse Directors, Division of Alcohol and Substances Abuse and the USD School of Medicine, in conjunction with the Unified Judicial System, selected a research-based curriculum for first offender DUI's. The curriculum, designed by the Change Companies, addresses the specific needs of South Dakota offenders, i.e., it takes into consideration race factors, education levels, common age groups, of DUI offenders. The curriculum is an interactive education program created to help defendants, not punish them. It was designed with the belief that people have the power to change their behavior if they are motivated and provided with the tools to do so. The course provides the motivation and the tools. It allows the defendant to visualize how drugs and alcohol are causing problems in their lives. In addition to providing important information, the program assists defendants in exploring ways they could change the high-risk behaviors that brought them into the court system.

Outpatient Evening Treatment

City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs Intensive Outpatient Treatment is approximately an 18-session, open-ended group program, along with individual counseling, that meets Monday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The evening treatment program hours are designed to help clients continue with employment, remain integrated with their families and society, while receiving intensive treatment for their addictions. In cases where clients may need a more secure structure and a safer environment, free of alcohol and drugs, clients may live at the treatment facility and still continue to work. State funding is available for clients who meet State indigent guidelines.

The program focuses primarily on the managed-care of individual client's strengths, needs and problems that are associated with addictions so that each client can meet their goals for successful living without the use of alcohol and drugs. The program will educate people about the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person's life when afflicted with chemical dependency disease. Intense education is taught to each client on how to recognize and prevent a relapse process from occurring, as well as how to use healthy tools to build a stronger foundation for sobriety. Treatment includes a six-hour family program component that educates the family members on the disease concept, and the roles that family members engage in while living with an addicted person. Family counseling is available when necessary.

Respect and confidentiality for each client is highly honored at City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs. Helping clients learn how to regain control back in their lives, build a higher level of self-esteem and teaching clients how to begin feeling good about themselves without the use of alcohol and illicit drugs, is the heartfelt goal from this program and the staff at City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs.

A TB test is needed to get a start date.
