Self-Referral

This free and confidential service assists individuals and families who have questions about their own alcohol or drug use or the use of another person.

Our professional alcohol and drug counselor will talk with you on the telephone or meet with you in person to help you determine the seriousness of the problem and identify ways to help solve it. Strategies might include developing a plan for drinking within safe consumption guidelines, referral to support groups or getting you connected with a treatment program.

If you end up choosing a plan that includes treatment, our consultants will help you locate a program and explore options for payment. Our counselors are familiar with most treatment programs in the community including programs that accept health insurance, those that have a sliding fee scale, programs that are free of charge and programs that you may qualify for if you don’t have health insurance or the ability to pay. For assistance, please call 256-4808.

Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Assessment

Specialized evaluations, assessments and follow-up for workers who fall under the Department of Transportation (DOT) substance abuse regulations.

Based on the results of the evaluation, the SAP will determine the education or treatment program necessary to resolve the problem. Case management services are provided until the individual has completed the process. If you need a SAP to reinstate your CDL, please call 414-256-4808.
