Advanced Choices treatment programs have been developed by our Washington State Certified Chemical Dependency Professional Counselors with more than 45 years combined experience treating the Chemically Dependent. Advanced Choices provides best practice evidence based treatment such as Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change, Matrix and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Alcohol and Drug Evaluations

(Chemical Dependency Assessment)

Alcohol and Drug Evaluations conducted to determine the proper level of care for an individual seeking chemical dependency treatment. The evaluation consists of three testing forms; these testing forms are in place to gage the patient’s defiance, acceptance, and personal understanding of current use. An Alcohol and Drug history is also collected detailing when the use first occurred, when the use became regular (if ever) and last time use occurred. The third and final part of the evaluation is the face-to-face interview with the Chemical Dependency Professional counselor. This interview collects specific information in the six diagnostic dimensions used for diagnosis chemical dependency. The evaluation is a very intense process and can last up to 3 hours.

Intensive Outpatient

Our Intensive Outpatient program is an 8-week program designed to educate the patient on the disease of alcoholism and addiction. The program consists of 3 days a week 3 hours each visit. The first hour and half of group is spent on the topic, education, then there is a short break and the group comes back to process the topic and how it personally relates to them. This group is the highest level of care offered in an outpatient setting, if for any reason an individual is unable to engage and actively participate in their recovery the next level of care is inpatient treatment.
