ORCA Women’s Residential Program: consists of 12 treatment beds for indigent chemically dependent females.  The program provides ATOD assessment services and a minimum of 30 hours of drug and alcohol treatment services a week. Gender specific issues e.g., domestic violence, sexual abuse, separation from children, dangers of substance abuse to the unborn fetus and prenatal health/ nutrition are integrated into the treatment regimen.  Urinalysis is requested regularly and randomly. Treatment duration is based on successful completion of the treatment plan, usually up to 30 days.

Family group sessions are provided 1 evening each week for families of our residential treatment programs.  This is an integral part of the treatment process.  To facilitate family participation, supervised child care services are provided. Individual family sessions are facilitated by the client’s primary counselor.

ORCA staff provide case management services to coordinate the client’s total care.  Staff have regular contacts with staff from other organizations, such as mental health agencies, who are also involved with ORCA clients.

We have two outpatient treatment programs:

The Intensive Outpatient Program is a highly structured treatment program which targets both male and females with chemical dependency problems but have stable sober living environments and/or viable employment.  The treatment services consist of individual/group counseling, case management, recreational therapy, vocational/educational counseling, parenting sessions, legal/social service consultation, AIDS/HIV education, and transportation support.  This service focuses on topics and issues such as relapse prevention, healthy relationship building, life skills, money management, job retention, conflict management, open communication and effective utilization of the 12 step principles.  Intensive Outpatient services are provided in 5 week blocks for 3 hours Tuesday, through Friday with individual counseling, case management and crisis intervention services offered, by appointment each Monday.  The ORCA House IOP program requests random urine screenings to insure optimum service utilization and the most effective treatment delivery.

ORCA’s Aftercare Program provides extended outpatient services, at a lesser intensity than Intensive Outpatient, to chemically dependent individuals for three (3) months.  Group counseling is provided once a week with individual sessions scheduled based on needs identified in the individual’s treatment plan.  Group counseling focuses on relapse prevention and addresses issues pertinent to achieving quality, continuous sobriety.  Focus is on same issues as Intensive Outpatient e.g., healthy relationships building, life skills, money management, job retention, but at a lesser intensity of service provision.  Individual counseling is also provided and addresses needs identified in the client’s treatment plan.  

Our outpatient services provide a continuum of care for recovering individuals.  Many of our residential clients, as well as residential clients from other agencies, “step down” to our Intensive Outpatient Program and then to our Aftercare Program
