Clinton County Addiction Services is an outpatient addiction clinic serving Clinton County residents who have an addiction problem or who have a family member with an addiction problem.

Services provided include evaluation, referral, and outpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment generally includes a combination of treatment modalities such as individual counseling, group counseling, family or couples counseling and intensive outpatient treatment.

How to get services:
    Call the clinic during normal working hours.  Identify yourself as requesting services and wanting to schedule an appointment.  You will be asked some questions so we can gather basic information, determine the reason you are requesting services and how we can best meet your needs.

Confidentiality:
    All services are confidential.  The clinic follows state and federal rules and regulations governing the confidentiality of client identifying information and client records.

Fees:
   The clinic operates primarily on the fees generated from the services that are provided.  Each session is billed to the client and/or their health plan.  We do receive some assistance from state and local government to cover the expense for those who are not able to pay for the full cost of services.  Your fee will vary depending on whether or not you have a health care plan, how much of the cost your plan covers, your household income, and the number of people living on that income.  Your financial responsibility will be determined at the time of your first appointment.
