EDUCATION

Our afforable education programs are designed for first time offenders with no prior legal issues.  They are designed to promote personal, social and legal responsibility.  We provide instruction for developing coping skills, education on physiological components and include lessons on the sociological and psychological aspects.

FOILS

FIRST OFFENDER INTENSIVE LEARNING SESSION

The goal of FOILS is to bring about a higher level of consciousness through education and prevention for those persons who are at the experimental or early stage of alcohol and drug use/abuse.  It is our objective to present the following information to the participants:

 

  • Pathology of alcohol use/abuse
  • Physical effects/results of alcohol use/abuse
  • Pharmacology of alcohol
  • Jellinek Chart/Drug Chart
  • Social/emotional ramifications of abuse
  • Support Groups

 

 

FOILS is presented once a month at our Outpatient clinics.  The program consists of a 3 hour intensive didactic presentation in a group setting. Documented self evaluation is also a component of the program.  The group is open to all persons with a minimum age of 18 who are known to use or are suspected to use/abuse alcohol or drugs.  Persons who have had previous known alcohol use/abuse problems would not benefit from this program.

 

The fee structure is 1st party pay (self pay).

FORCE

FIRST OFFENDER REFERRAL CONTENT AND EVALUATION

The FORCE program at DOT includes an Intake/Assessment component. The client will then attend six (6) one and a half hour group sessions. An exit interview completes the program unless follow-up care is indicated.  The session materials include:

 

  • Recognition of substance use problem

  • Physical and psychological complications of substance use

  • Signs and symptoms of a substance use disorder

  • Use of supports for abstinence

  • Randon urinalysis

 

 

The client is extensively educated. The FORCE program is not “feel good” therapy. The program promotes personal, social and legal responsibility.  It is designed for first time offenders, 18 years of age and older, whose offense is related to illegal behavior under the influence of a mood altering chemical (alcohol or drugs).

 

The fee structure is 1st party pay (self pay).
