"Recovery is not a DESTINATION;

healing and self-discovery

it is a lifelong journey"

~Unknown

Understanding your relationship with substances is the first step toward lasting change. Our substance use assessments are conducted in a safe, judgment-free environment, allowing you to openly discuss your experiences.

We gather a comprehensive history including:

  • Frequency, quantity, and types of substances used

  • Social, emotional, and environmental factors

  • Family history, mental health, and support systems

This thorough process helps lay the foundation for tailored treatment goals and long-term recovery planning.

Drug/Alcohol assessment

Global appraisal for individual needs (gain)

The GAIN assessment is a standardized tool used to evaluate substance use patterns, mental health status, and social risk factors. It may also be required by the State for court-ordered obligations.

At Edge Counseling, we:

  • Administer GAIN assessments professionally and sensitively

  • Ensure full compliance with legal requirements

  • Use results to guide personalized treatment planning

Whether mandated or voluntary, this assessment is a crucial step toward understanding your needs and initiating meaningful recovery work.

DUI Evaluation

A DUI can be a life-altering experience. Our DUI evaluations are designed to assess your alcohol and drug use history, driving record, and any personal circumstances impacting your situation.

We provide:

  • A safe space for honest discussion

  • Evaluations that meet court and DMV requirements

  • Support throughout the legal process

You are more than your charge. Let us help you fulfill your obligations and begin your journey toward healing.

Substance abuse professional (SAP) Evaluation

FMCSA, FTA, FRA, FAA, PHMSA, and USCG

For safety-sensitive employees regulated by DOT agencies (FMCSA, FTA, FRA, FAA, PHMSA, USCG), we provide SAP evaluations in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40.

Our SAP evaluations:

  • Assess whether treatment, education, or follow-up is needed

  • Prioritize safety, objectivity, and compliance

  • Help facilitate your safe return to duty

We understand the importance of your role and are here to support you with dignity and professionalism.

ONLINE LESSONS

At Edge Counseling, we understand the significance of providing comprehensive and practical support for individuals struggling with substance abuse. As part of our holistic approach to treatment, we offer substance abuse therapy groups as an integral component of our therapeutic services. 
Substance abuse therapy groups are structured sessions that bring together individuals who share similar struggles with substance abuse. These groups offer a safe and supportive environment for participants to explore their addiction, develop coping strategies, and receive guidance from skilled professionals. 
One of the primary benefits of substance abuse therapy groups is the opportunity for individuals to connect with others who have faced similar challenges. This support network fosters a sense of community, understanding, and encouragement, which can be instrumental in recovery. Participants can relate to each other's experiences, share personal insights, and offer valuable advice, all under the guidance of a trained substance abuse counselor.

Payment options

Seeking help for substance use disorder is a courageous step, and we aim to make the financial aspect of treatment as clear and simple as possible. Our treatment services are offered on a private-pay (self-pay) basis. This means clients are billed directly and pay out-of-pocket for services. Many individuals and families choose this route for the following reasons:
Confidentiality
Private Pay offers the highest level of privacy. Since we do not bill insurance, your treatment and diagnosis will not be shared with any third-party payers or become part of your permanent medical record.
Flexibility
Without the constraints of insurance, your treatment can be tailored specifically to your needs and goals—without limitations on session frequency, length of treatment, or type of services provided.
Simplicity
Private Pay eliminates the confusion and frustration that often come with insurance claims, approvals, or denials. You receive straightforward pricing and can focus fully on your recovery.

We do not accept private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare at this time.
