About SSTAR Chemical Dependency Services/Outpt
Addiction is a chronic mental disorder that can be treated. People who seek treatment of addiction deserve to be treated as soon as possible with appropriate services. Providing a structured program for addiction treatment in the community allows clients to maintain sobriety in the context of their existing support system at home and in the community so as not to further disrupt their work and family life.

Policies
Relapse Policy: Upon admission to IOP, clients are asked to commit to substantially reduce or eliminate substance use and to abide by the SSTAR Client Rights and Responsibilities Policy. Clients who report use are not automatically discharged from the program but use will be addressed; recovery is a process and it is the philosophy of IOP to meet a client where he or she is at. However, if a client is visibly intoxicated, disruptive, and ill or falling asleep, they will be asked to leave for the day; every effort will be made to find a safe way home for them if necessary. Clients are welcomed to return to IOP when they are functioning better. A review of appropriate level of care will be conducted and referral to detox will be made if appropriate.
Policies and Procedures:
- Drug dealing on site will be grounds for termination from the program.
- Behavior that is disrespectful, confrontational, disruptive, abusive or violent is never acceptable.
- If terminated, referral will be made to another appropriate service.
- Damage or theft of property of the agency and/or others (clients or staff) may result in formal charges.
- Clients are expected to be on time for every group and to stay for the entire program day.
