Our PROGRAMS

• Outpatient Treatment: After an initial evaluation that includes standardized tests and screens as well as a personal interview, we determine the best course of treatment. All treatment includes group therapy, 12 Step Group attendance, and random drug and alcohol screens. The number of group therapy sessions per week and duration of treatment is determined at the evaluation. Most clients start with a minimum of two groups per week. This will decrease as the client progresses through the program.
• Alcohol Safety Program: The Casselton Program works closely with the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program and is a qualified service provider for the area. VASAP refers clients to us who are in need of additional assessments. There is an additional fee for an VASAP clinical assessment. The number of group therapy sessions per week and duration of treatment is determined at evaluation. Casselton also provide virtual groups for persons who receive DUI/DWI convictions in Virginia (reside out of state) and are mandated to attend VASAP.
• Jail Evaluations: We will meet with potential clients in jail to evaluate them for the Casselton Program. This evaluation will be as complete as possible with the use of standardized tests and a personal interview. The program requirements will also be explained in detail. In many instances, clients have had some success being released on bond as a result of a jail evaluation and agreeing to enroll in the Casselton Program. The number of group therapy sessions is determined at evaluation. There is an additional fee for a jail evaluation.
• Clinical Substance Abuse Evaluations: In some cases, clients are in need of a clinical assessment with a diagnosis included. In some cases, the courts or employers may request this. This is a more intensive assessment with either a Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Clinical Social Worker. There is an additional fee for this assessment .
• Education Classes*: In conjunction with local community corrections we have designed a 6 hour substance abuse education class. This is recommended for young offenders and first offenders with minor drug and alcohol charges. Anyone interested in learning more about alcohol and drugs and their effects will find this beneficial. *Classes are fee based
• Drug and Alcohol Screening*: Due to COVID-19 we have suspended breathalyzers at each group meeting. However, all clients must submit to random drug and alcohol screens. We screen for 14 different types of drugs. We complete screening in house, but will send samples to 3rd party labs for metabolite testing or verifications as needed. *There is a fee for drug and alcohol testing.

Groups

• Virtual Groups: Due to COVID-19 we provide virtual groups for clients that have written medical documentation that they can not safely attend small group sessions due to a pre-existing medical condition.
• Due to COVID-19 Group sizes follow the CDC guidelines for in building groups. (practicing safe-distancing and mandatory face masks).
• Latino / Spanish Group: With the growing Latino population in the Richmond area, we recognize the value of offering cultural and language appropriate education, assessment and treatment when possible. Spanish Group meetings are held on Mondays (currently virtual), Wednesdays in Richmond Office and Thursdays (currently virtual).
• Young Adult Group: We recognize that young adults often feel more comfortable with others their age. It is for this reason that we have a group specifically geared toward those young adults – 25 and younger. This group meets on Wednesday night. Typically clients in our outpatient program will attend the Young Adult Group and another group during the week.
• Family and Friends Group: This is a no cost education program designed to assist those who have a loved one with a substance use or abuse problem they are concerned about. You do not have to have a family member enrolled in the Casselton Program to attend this free education class. Classes are usually held the first Saturday of every month in our Richmond office.
