Services and Departments

Progressing towards sustained active recovery from chemical dependency could be a challenging, distressing, extensive, but rewarding, fulfilling process. Our P. A. I. R. (Prevention, Addiction, Intervention, Recovery) department concentrate on working collaboratively with clients through psycho-education, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and supplementary interventions, to formulate treatment planning intended on facilitating advancing away from active addiction. 

Many individuals struggling with substance abuse experience co-occurring mental health challenges. Whether substance abuse is triggering psychiatric episodes, or mental health complications are being coped with by self-medication, our programming consists of addressing co-occurring disorder diagnoses. Accomplishing this take place through a variety of ways: including the collective recognition of pro-social coping mechanisms, grounding techniques, replacement skills, and thought-stopping approaches, that could be utilized when overwhelmed psychiatrically, emotionally, etcetera.

Dr. Curry & Associates understand challenges experienced by convicted sexually-deviant offenders. Whether it is mandated, indefinite registration, or potentially, persisting relapse-related cognitions and feelings that could result in recidivism if acted upon. We comprehend difficulties not only sexually-deviant offenders endure, but also someone struggling with overwhelming cognitive sensations concerning hyper-sexualization. Programming through this department is led, managed, directed, and facilitated from an empathetic, non-judgemental approach.

Correctional counseling is facilitated in correctional facilities to help inmates work through their issues: with correctional counselors operating to help change the mindset of people whom have a history of endorsing criminogenic behavior. Dr. Curry & Associates have tremendous experience collaborating with representatives from the criminal justice system, and is staffed with professionals comfortable, competent, and prepared to replicate correctional counseling in a societal environment. This is a counseling approach advantageous for someone mandated to county, state, or federal probation or parole, or is at least, at risk of finding themselves involved with the criminal justice system. 

Clients could benefit from individual, group, couples, and family counseling sessions in a programmatic environment. We offer services through each treatment modality: including a combination of any of, or all four approaches if a client elects to do so. In addition to the advantages of individual counseling sessions, contemporary literature has illustrated peer support of group counseling sessions, and the involvement of intimate partnership through couples counseling sessions, and loved ones during family counseling sessions, could increase the odds of treatment-focused success materializing.

There is an understanding substance abuse difficulties and co-occurring mental health concerns may result in involvement with the criminal justice system, child protective services, or both simultaneously. We will work alongside legal representation during trial proceedings to articulate how co-occurring specific considerations could make contributions towards anti-social decision-making. This centers on explaining corresponding diagnoses depicted throughout the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and treatment planning concentrating on reducing diagnosable features of each affiliated diagnosis. Efforts are made to provide advocacy for treatment, rather than reprimanding.

Dr. Curry & Associates acknowledge how inebriated-driving is problematical. Our intentions are to address such concerns through recidivism prevention programming. Clients are introduced to restorative justice, and how their potential psychiatric difficulties, coupled with anti-social decision-making impacting society. Affordable payment options for the program are available. A certificate of completion, and advocacy during ongoing, or subsequent legal proceedings are included.

Our professionals are attentive of distinguishing considerations affiliated with contemporary parenting. We know circumstances could present themselves where the best parents, with stability in their lives, may need professional assistance. Dr. Curry & Associates recognize involvement with child protective services, or the criminal justice system, because of parenthood-driven concerns, is something that could happen to any family. The parenthood improvement curriculum we facilitate is designed to help parents position themselves to become more of a pro-social, idealized representation of themselves. Our course is formulated to manage modern parenting-oriented dynamics and challenges through the implementation of motivational-enhancement therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, as well as supplementary, applicable clinical interventions. Graduation from this curriculum comes with a certificate of completion, and professional advocacy and support throughout ongoing, or subsequent court hearings.

Those whom have walked in the shoes may present with what it takes to make considerable professional contributions to the behavioral health field. When ready, there are measures in place to provide clinical supervision hours, and examination preparation needed for an individual to eventually submit documentation (to an applicable or appropriate credentialing board) to become a credentialed practitioner. This program is also available for professional practitioners seeking career advancement.
