Treatment and Staff
CNS provides psychiatric evaluations, counseling and education, case management, medication administration and review, and pharmacy and laboratory services. Mental health and chemical dependency are treated concurrently.
The facility takes an integrated approach, assigning each client to a care team of medical and behavioral health professionals with whom they work during the course of treatment. An individualized treatment plan is determined at an initial meeting. Clients are required to meet with their assigned doctor and case manager at least once a month. Detox is not offered, but Suboxone can be prescribed for opioid recovery. Persons with co-occurring mental illness can be evaluated and treated as part of the program.
