A Comprehensive Approach to Substance Use Treatment

SATUCI offers a full range of services to meet the needs of individuals struggling with substance abuse. Their holistic approach ensures that clients receive support not just for their addiction but also for their mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Some of the core services provided by SATUCI include:

• Assessment and Evaluation: Understanding each client’s unique situation through in-depth assessments and evaluations. This process helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.
• Outpatient Treatment Programs: These programs offer flexible options for clients who wish to continue living at home while receiving care. With various levels of care available, SATUCI provides individualized plans based on the severity of addiction.
• Individual and Group Counseling: Clients have the opportunity to participate in one-on-one sessions with experienced counselors and group therapy sessions that offer peer support and a sense of community.
• Prevention Services: SATUCI believes in the power of prevention. Through educational programs in schools and communities, they work to raise awareness about the risks of substance abuse and promote healthy, substance-free lifestyles.

Family-Centered Care

Addiction is often referred to as a family disease because it affects everyone close to the person struggling with it. SATUCI emphasizes family involvement in the recovery process, recognizing that loved ones play an essential role in healing.

Family counseling and support services are available to help repair relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a supportive environment for long-term recovery.

A Commitment to Prevention

In addition to treatment, SATUCI places a strong emphasis on substance abuse prevention. Their prevention programs are designed to educate youth, families, and the community at large about the risks associated with substance use.

By providing the tools and knowledge needed to make informed decisions, SATUCI aims to reduce the number of individuals who develop substance use disorders.

Some key prevention initiatives include:

• School-Based Programs: SATUCI works with local schools to deliver age-appropriate education on drug and alcohol prevention. These programs equip students with the skills to resist peer pressure and make healthy choices.
• Community Outreach: Through partnerships with local organizations and community groups, SATUCI actively promotes awareness of substance use issues and resources available for those seeking help.
