Adult Substance Use Disorder Services
Recovery from Alcohol Abuse or Drug Addiction
Clay Behavioral Health Center has substance use disorder and prevention programs for adults, children, teens and families. Our programs help individuals reduce their dependence on drugs and/or alcohol and create a healthy, fulfilling and substance-free lifestyle.
Our Philosophy
People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol do not suffer from a lack of willpower or moral deficiency. Their addiction is a disease, which will respond to the proper treatment. Unfortunately, many people who use alcohol or drugs do not understand how to manage their illness, or do not know that treatment can help them.
Our Services
Adults receiving services at Clay Behavioral Health Center receive an initial screening or assessment to determine the severity of their substance use disorder problem. After the assessment and diagnosis, the client is referred to an appropriate level of care.
Clay Behavioral Health Center offers specialty substance use disorder treatment programs, including:
Dual Diagnoses – Services designed specifically for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness
Aftercare – For individuals who have successfully completed treatment but need continued monitoring or support for ongoing recovery
Prevention Services – Community Education and Drug-Free Workplace Training
Outpatient Counseling – Structured solution-focused individual- and group-counseling for adults dealing with substance use disorder and chemical dependency. Programs are designed to allow individuals to remain in the community and engage in regular daily activities during treatment.
Treatment Courts Program
