All services are confidential and in compliance with state and federals laws. A sliding fee scale is available; no one is denied services due to the lack of their ability to pay.

addiction is destructive for those who suffer from it and the people who love them.

Guiding Assumptions: Addiction is a chronic disease with set of complex behaviors. Effective treatment should include a combination of culturally competent therapies that consider: age, race, culture, language, sexual orientation, gender, pregnancy status, housing and employment, physical disability, the existence of a co-occurring mental illness and any past history of physical and sexual abuse. Initiating substance abuse treatment at the stage of change where the client is at encourages the client: a) to recognize a problem behavior, b) to regard positive change to be in their best interest, c) to feel competent to change, d) to develop a plan for change, and e) to take action. Understanding the stages of change empowers and assists the client in making changes in their own lives. Recovery is a process and relapse prevention is a tool to help the client understand the addiction cycle and the need to develop alternative strategies to cope with daily life. Increasing the client's knowledge and skills to access available resources for adjustment to life on the outside significantly reduces the risk of relapse and recidivism. The support of the family, friends and the community is a critical factor in maintaining sobriety. Outpatient Treatment: Services may include individual sessions, group sessions, family sessions, psychiatric services, or a combination of any of these based on individual needs. KDC offers specialty programs to address the unique needs of women and adolescents. Co-Occurring Treatment meets the special needs of clients with both a substance abuse and mental health diagnosis.
