Substance Addiction/Abuse Education Group Program Director Linda Hamilton Location Fourth Street Station Phone 434-972-1869 Email linda@regionten.org Fax 434-970-1253 Program Description An education group for adult men and women who are identified as needing substance abuse and addiction information. The group meets one day a week.  The program is 12 weeks long though most consumers take a bit longer to complete as they must complete twelve groups and therefore missed groups do not count towards their twelve weeks.   Participants benefit from examining their own use of mood altering substances while gaining information around substance abuse and addiction.  This is a good group for those who are contemplating quitting the use of a substance but are unclear whether they are ready to do so or for those who have quit using substances but would benefit from gaining knowledge around addiction. Participants are expected to attempt abstinence from mood altering substances while they participate in group.  Continued use is processed in the group. Group Times Monday 4:00-5:00 pm or Tuesday 4:00-5:00 pm Population Served Adult men and women who have had negative consequences associated from the use of a mood altering substance, including alcohol, which are affecting their social, vocational, and/or family functioning. Indivdiuals must have the willingness, ability, and capacity to work toward treatment goals in an outpatient setting. Access to Program Please call 434-972-1800 to schedule an Intake Appointment.

Quest Group Program Director Linda Hamilton Location Fourth Street Station Phone 434-972-1869 Email linda@regionten.org Fax 434-970-1253 Program Description A treatment group for adult men and women who are identified as being dually diagnosed as chemically dependent and having a major mental health diagnosis that significantly impairs their functioning. This group is for individuals whose baseline functioning is significantly impaired by a disability other than their addiction. The group meets one day a week.  The program is 12 weeks long though most consumers take a bit longer to complete as they must complete twelve groups and therefore missed groups do not count towards their twelve weeks. The consumers need to demonstrate that they can maintain sobriety for a period of time (not determined, may vary from consumer to consumer) and can be successful in a once a week outpatient program.  Relapses must be processed in group. Continued relapse may indicate a need for a higher level of treatment such as Inpatient or an Intensive Outpatient Program. Group Times Tuesdays 3:00-4:00 pm. Population Served The group is for both adult men and women who have a DSM-IV substance abuse/substance dependence diagnosis and a DSM-IV mental disorder diagnosis and impairment(s) in social, vocational, and/or family functioning. Participants must have a willingness, ability, and capacity to work towards goals in an outpatient setting.   Access to Program Please call 434-972-1800.
