Types of Intervention:
- Individual Counseling & Group Support
- Education & Group Training.
- Community Outreach
CCHER substance abuse staff work with Boston area detox centers, half-way houses, shelters, rehabilitation centers, and mental health agencies to provide referrals, mentoring assistance, support to clients during the detox process, and aftercare support at the various sites for sustaining consumers' recovery.
The substance abuse team works in concert with the mental health team particularly referring clients who are in need of short and long term counseling and mental heath care.
