Alcohol Outpatient

Program Philosophy

Mather Hospital's Outpatient Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program is based upon the disease concept of Alcoholism/Chemical Dependency. We support the position that Chemical Dependency is a disease that adversely affects the mind, body and spirit of the abuser as well as his or her loved ones. There are various stages of abuse/dependency that an individual may be experiencing. Our trained staff ensures that each client is treated as an individual and addresses that client's use/abuse of alcohol and/or other substances as well as the other areas of their life affected by their chemical dependency.

An assessment of the stage of alcohol and/or substance use, abuse or dependency.

Individualized treatment for clients and their families designed to address the mental, physical, behavioral and spiritual effects of their chemical use.

A variety of counseling and psychiatric services to assist individuals and their families to develop a program of recovery.
