Substance Abuse Pretreatment

Exploring Change
The Substance Abuse Services Exploring Change program is an outgrowth of EFR’S Pretreatment Program and is designed to provide an extended assessment process for clients struggling with making changes in their use of substances. The program provides information, education, and discussion on topics important to successfully entering, participating, and completing a substance treatment program. Exploring Change Program is designed to help clients, whose participation demonstrates a readiness to pursue treatment, get started in such a program in as timely a manner as possible. Referral to the Exploring Change program is initiated at the time of the initial client assessment by the EFR assessment counselor.
