Services

First DUI (Driving Under the Influence) offenders enter into this program after a 90-minute intake interview. Clients are then expected to complete 16 weekly group sessions, attend 2 self help forums and 1 victim’s forum.

Massachusetts requires most people with a second DUI to enroll in a two week in-patient program at Tewksbury Hospital, followed by aftercare. ASAP provides an aftercare service which is usually 20 weekly sessions followed by 7 monthly sessions in the Phase III group.

Most out-of-state courts and motor vehicle departments will accept the Massachusetts DAE course to fulfill their requirements for a drunk driving charge. ASAP can provide the service required of most of the remaining states and Canadian provinces. In order to avoid extra client work and unnecessary costs, ASAP requires permission to consult with out-of-state referring agencies. Persons with alcohol related traffic violations from outside of Massachusetts can usually fulfill the other State’s requirements by completing an ASAP program.

Recovery meds will decrease the physical cravings for drugs. The recovery support treatments (group, individual or telephone support) will decrease the mental obsession and the desire for drugs. More support equals less relapse. The recovery meds support group meets weekly with an experienced counselor to discuss how to stay on the meds and take them properly, how to avoid relapsing, staying away from risky people, places and things and how to enjoy your new drug-free life in recovery. Individual support counseling provides more specialized help focused on your individual needs and issues. Telephone support services provide support over the telephone to prevent relapse and offer you a chance get help in a confidential way and whenever you need it. Help is always just a phone call away.
