BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES

CETPA provides individual, family and group counseling for people
suffering negative consequences from alcohol and drug use or
addiction, for a variety of mental health issues and employee
assistance programs.  We are committed to provide the following
professional services:

Evaluations/Assessments:
CETPA provides Substance Abuse, Mental Health, and Psychiatric
evaluations for adults and adolescents in Spanish and in English.  
These evaluations are separate from the treatment evaluations which
a client receives when they are applying for admission at CETPA.  The
result of these evaluations may or may not involve continued
utilization of services at CETPA.  This decision is based on the results
of the evaluation and other exams.

Individual Counseling:
Sessions will be provided for clients that qualify for this level of
counseling or for clients who chose individual counseling as a form or
continued care.

Family counseling:
Sessions will be provided for clients and their spouse/family to
involve them in the recovery process and to begin healing their
relationships.

Group Counseling:
Different types of groups are available for clients needing ASAM Level
I treatment or higher.  The minimum length of stay is usually 12
weeks. However, depending on circumstances, the minimum length
of stay for some clients will be 18 weeks or longer.

We offer the first and only Spanish language ASAM Level II
treatment in the state of Georgia, offering a minimum of nine hours
of services per week.

Supportive Counseling:
Full hour or half-hour groups covering recovery skills and the
introduction 12-Step philosophy.  These groups are integrated into
Level I or Level II programs.

Group Education:
One and one-half hour education lectures are provided as part of the
Level I or Level II programs or as an added support to those in
individual or family counseling.  Topics and presenters vary each time
and include stress management, communication and HIV/AIDS,
among others.

Family Program:
Our family program attempts to engage the family in the process of
recovery from the beginning.  The family program meets on a regular
basis.  Family members of all ages are invited to attend.

Nursing Services:
As part of the admission process, our clients receive a Physical
Assessment by a nurse.  The nursing services include a Physician's
assessment, laboratory analysis, tuberculosis (TB) testing, drug
testing and voluntary HIV/AIDS testing.

Medication Management:
Our Medical Director provides medication management services to
our clients at CETPA.  Our nurse can provide any testing necessary
before a client is placed on psychotropic medications.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM

In the Fall of the year 2000, we launched the first bi-lingual and and
bi-cultural Latino Youth Prevention Program in the State of Georgia.  
Since then, we have developed a Latino Youth Prevention Program
for boys and a Latina Youth Prevention Program for girls that we
currently deliver in four counties to over 350 Latino youth.  Our
programs are delivered both at the schools we serve after school
hours and at our Norcross office on Saturdays.

Our programs utilize components of Latino Programs developed by
the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), cultural components and an alternative recreational
component.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMS

CETPA is dedicated to educating our community about the myths
and realities of substance abuse and the common misunderstanding
of mental illness. We have criss-crossed the state providing free
community education seminars and continue to do so as part of our
outreach program.  To schedule your seminar, please contact us at
pmancini@cetpa.org or call (770) 662-0249.
