Athena/Comtrea Outpatient Treatment Program

Therapy is based upon the disease concept of addiction. We know that Substance Dependency is a disease that adversely affects the mind, body and spirit of the abuser. We understand that it also significantly impacts one's family and friends.

While in the COMTREA Athena Outpatient Program, our clients' strengths and limitations are professionally assessed. An individualized treatment plan is developed. The whole person is considered. Tools to achieve the identified goals include alcohol and other drug education, individual and group therapy, and family counseling. Of special importance is the identification of "triggers" which interfere with recovery.

Clients also have priority access to psychiatrists, case managers, counselors, social workers, children's specialists, and psychologists through the COMTREA Division of Adult Services and the COMTREA Division of Children's Services. "State of the art medication" such as Naltrexone may be prescribed to assist with recovery.

We understand that addiction is also a family disease. Families who live close enough to participate in family counseling and weekly lectures and discussions are encouraged to do so. Family participation in Al-Anon is also encouraged.
