About Affiliated Clinical Services – West Bend
Affiliated Clinical Services offers outpatient substance abuse programs for adults and adolescents in West Bend, Wisconsin. They provide a variety of options such as group and individual counseling and case management services. They also conduct necessary psychiatric evaluations or psychological testing as required. A doctor will be on hand for clinical and medical consultations.
Certified alcohol and drug counselors provide treatment services under the direction of the program director. Depending on each patient’s unique needs, the lead therapist and the patient’s prognosis will decide how long each program lasts. Patients will be moved to less intensive treatment levels if they have strong coping mechanisms, a shorter history of addiction or more social support.
Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is small-scale and does not include the partial day or intensive residential services that are commonly provided by larger more extensive treatment centers. Ten to 12 hours of group and individual services are available each week through their IOP program. This enables patients to take part in their everyday activities like going to work and then attending treatment in the morning or at the end of the day at a suitable facility.
Groups meet one to three times a week for one to five hours each time. To maintain long-term sobriety, clients will keep building their external support networks and working on program materials. Participants in their relapse prevention program must have been sober for at least three months. Clients in this program will strive to stick to their sobriety plan and achieve a long-term sober lifestyle by using the group process and additional support. Groups for relapse prevention get together once a week.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) patients can participate in day and evening programming offered by their co-occurring chemical dependency treatment programs. A MAT agreement that outlines expectations for Suboxone use drug testing, random drug recall and medication safety protocols is adhered to in addition to core programming. As they finish their outpatient treatment, they employ a tapering protocol that is tailored to each patient’s needs.
