I-ADARP, Inc’s mission is to identify, develop, implement, and maintain programs to meet the needs of our communities. 



Services

I-ADARP, Inc.  offers a full range of treatment services to clients, contingent upon their individual needs as assessed at intake and throughout their participation in the program. Services include:

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING: Conducted by the client’s primary Caseworker.  The focus of sessions is based on the treatment problems and goals as outlined in the client’s treatment plan.

 

CASE MANAGEMENT:  Facilitated by the client’s primary Caseworker.  Ancillary needs are determined at intake and throughout a client’s treatment, with the Caseworker coordinating referrals to agencies providing the needed financial, legal, medical, vocational and/or other social services required. 

 

EDUCATIONAL GROUPS: Primarily didactic in nature, consisting of lecture, question and answer, and general sharing.  Videos may be used to complement the facilitator’s lecture.  Handouts and writing assignments may be included.  Examples of groups in this category include:

Parenting Education

Alcohol and Other Drug Education

INTERACTIVE/SPECIALTY GROUPS: Allows for interaction, processing and/or cross discussion between the facilitator and the group members.  Handouts and writing assignments may be included.  Examples of groups in this category include:

Relapse Prevention

Men’s or Women’s Group

Youth Group

Anger Management

Recovery Process Group

RANDOM URINALYSIS TESTING: Provided as a means to monitor abstinence. The frequency of testing is dependent on client’s phase in treatment, drug use pattern and relapse history.  Frequency can be dictated by referring agency and other entities.

12-STEP MEETINGS AND SPONSORSHIP: All clients are required to meet the minimum 12-Step meeting attendance requirement as outlined in their treatment plan. All clients are required to obtain and have a working relationship with a 12-Step sponsor as well as establish ties with members of the NA or AA fellowship.  

By the time a client is ready to complete treatment it is anticipated that they will be applying essential skills necessary to maintain a drug-free lifestyle.  They will be able to demonstrate comprehension of the recovery concepts of the 12-Step recovery model and will begin to utilize a 12-Step program as a key component in their recovery process.  Other evidence of one’s readiness for completion includes:

The client has recognized the severity of their chemical use

The client has an understanding of their self-defeating relationship with chemicals as well as vulnerabilities which could lead to relapse

The client has developed a relapse prevention plan

The client has met all goals identified in the individualized treatment plan

A realistic and sound plan for continuing care and ongoing recovery is established

Dually diagnosed clients will gain an increased awareness of the ways in which the use of mood-altering drugs, including alcohol, magnify their psychiatric diagnosis

Once a client has completed the program, they are strongly encouraged to become an active member of I-ADARP, Inc’s alumni.  A weekly Relapse Prevention group is offered at no cost and graduates are encouraged to attend and participate.  Should the alumni desire individual, couples, or family counseling, arrangements can be made for a reasonable fee or appropriate referrals provided.

Gang Intervention services: are funded through the Los Angeles County Probation Department. This program is school-based. At this time, it is only available to students at select schools in the San Fernando Valley. The candidates have been identified as at-risk for gang involvement and are either on probation or being monitored by the Probation Officer at the school. The kids cannot already be in a gang. They must be between 12-18 years old. There is also a parent component, which provides educational information and counseling to parents.

On Demand Testing

 

DCFS              I-ADARP Inc. serves as a collection site for clients who are under the auspices of DCFS.  Clients who are participating in this program must call DCFS each day to determine if they are required to go to I-ADARP for testing.  When they are called for testing they come to the clinic and are required to provide a urine sample which is forwarded to a DCFS contracted lab.  Test results are sent directly to DCFS.  I-ADARP Inc. does not receive the results reports of clients participating in this program.

 

Custom          For clients who want to provide on demand testing for themselves or for others, I-ADARP, Inc. will set up a program depending upon the frequency of tests requested.  A drug technician will randomly contact identified participants and inform them of the need to test.  Collected samples will be forwarded to a lab and the test results will be provided as directed.
