Pauquette Center for Psychological Services

About Pauquette Center for Psychological Services – Portage

Pauquette Center in Portage, Wisconsin provides a wide range of alcohol and drug abuse treatment services. Their clinicians can help you if you are struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. They are licensed to treat mental health issues as well as alcohol and other drug abuse. They provide outpatient services for clients who are dealing with the legal consequences of their addictive behaviors.

Under Wisconsin law, you must complete an IDP Assessment if you have been found guilty of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated or a similar offense. This evaluation looks at how you use drugs, alcohol and prescription medications to find out if you have any substance abuse issues.

A driver’s safety plan that reduces the chance of repeat drunk driving offenses will be given to you after the evaluation. Your participation in an educational or counseling program will be recommended by this plan.
Judges, attorneys, probation and parole officers as well as employers or school personnel frequently refer people for an AODA assessment. These evaluations which may involve testing are usually conducted by a certified substance abuse counselor and take two sessions.

Following the completion of the assessment, the counselor will provide the referring agency with a report detailing treatment recommendations which may include options such as outpatient individual counseling or group therapy. The goals of individual counseling are relapse prevention, recovery promotion and addiction understanding. Clients gain the ability to recognize triggers and make lifestyle adjustments that promote a full recovery during these sessions.

All of their counselors are qualified to handle mental health issues as well as alcohol and other drug abuse issues which are common among people with substance use issues. It should be noted that you will be in charge of paying all costs related to the assessment procedure as you proceed.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
