Treatment is offered in the form of group and individual therapy, anger management and couples counseling on a step-down basis.

Treatment and Staff

Those seeking addiction treatment through Northwestern Lake Counseling undergo an initial assessment to determine the level of care needed. Treatment examines the underlying issue of the client’s existing addiction or explores past traumatic experiences that may have led to substance abuse. During the assessment process, the therapist and client set treatment goals and with intermittent progress checks throughout the program. There is also an educational component where clients learn about the effects of drugs and alcohol on their lives and the lives of those around them. Men and women can also expect to garner healthy coping skills and general life skills for continued success in sobriety.

Northwestern Lake offers flexible hours; with groups scheduled three evenings a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5:30 pm to 8 pm and weekend sessions from 9:30 am to noon. There are also on-site AA meetings offered twice a week. In general, clients participate in up to two group sessions a week and at least one 12-step support meeting. Additionally, Northwestern is able to refer clients to a psychiatrist if there appears to be an underlying co-occurring disorder where medication management might be needed.

The staff at Northwestern Lake Counseling are all licensed CADCs. There is a consulting psychologist available as well.
