Substance Use Services

​A substance use disorder (SUD) is a disease that occurs when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes significant impairments in an individual’s life. Impairments may include physical or mental health problems, disability, and failure to meet primary responsibilities at work, school, or home.  Substance use disorders can range from mild to severe. The first step in getting help for substance use is to complete a comprehensive assessment. At CACS, our qualified SUD staff can provide assessment services and treatment recommendations. Treatment recommendations for substance use disorders are individualized to the person’s needs through various professional and natural supports such as outpatient treatment, support groups, and peer specialists.

Psychiatric Services

A psychiatric provider is a medical provider who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses, including substance abuse disorders. Psychiatric providers are uniquely qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological disturbance. Their medical education has given them a full working knowledge of the many causes for a patient’s feelings and symptoms. Equipped with this understanding, psychiatric providers can make a complete, accurate diagnosis and then recommend or provide treatment.

Therapeutic Foster Care

Therapeutic Foster Care is a family foster home based treatment program. TFC parents provide nurturing basic day-to-day care for a foster child in a safe environment, but treatment foster parents are also expected to provide extra time and effort to help a child meet their emotional and behavioral needs. The TFC clinical specialist and treatment parents partner with a treatment team including: the child’s therapist, school, medical providers, guardian agency and any others providing services to that child. The goal of the TFC Program is to address the causes of a child’s emotional problems and help them to change their behavior allowing the child to live a more functional life in a family, school and community.

Therapeutic Foster Care
