SAMHSA-Open Door Program: The Open Door provides pre-treatment group and individual counseling sessions to encourage and prepare clients for admission into integrated substance abuse treatment and mental health services This program is designed for clients with co-occurring disorders who are not ready to enter substance abuse treatment and mental health services. Clients may not be ready to enter treatment due to:
• Lack of Motivation
• Ambivalence Towards Recovery
• Avoidance of Dealing with Mental Health Issues
Our goal is to move clients with co-occurring disorders toward substance abuse recovery while addressing client's impairments and mental health symptomatologies.
