The CRN evaluation is a prescreening tool used to determine if a more comprehensive AOD assessment will be required. A CRN evaluation must be done in person and takes 45-60 minutes to complete. It is required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for each DUI charge. A CRN evaluation is a set of roughly 115 questions pertaining to AOD use, with specific questions about the day of and the month prior to the DUI charge. Based on the results of the CRN evaluation, a full alcohol and other drug assessment may be required in order to determine a program recommendation.
FEE: $75

Alcohol Highway Safety (AHSS) is a 12.5-hour state certified education program that teaches about the effects of alcohol and other drugs (AODs) on an individual, their family and their community. The AHSS program gives an individual a solid foundation about the inherent dangers that come along with the use of AODs. Attendance at a Victims Impact Panel is a requirement of the Alcohol Highway Safety program.
FEE: $235
The addition of the 8-hour intervention component allows individuals to explore personal issues that might be contributing to AOD abuse. After receiving a solid education from the AHSS class, the intervention program encourages individuals to explore how AODs can interfere with their values. Attendance at a Victims Impact Panel, and 1 recovery support meeting (such as AA, NA, SMART Recovery, etc.) are also required for successful completion.

An assessment is a comprehensive view of an individual focusing on their alcohol and other drug use. An assessment also surveys a client’s emotional/psychiatric background, family/social life, legal history, schooling, employment, and medical history in relation to their alcohol and other drug use. The first step in determining what kind of care an individual needs is to perform a bio-psycho-social assessment. This type of assessment considers biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of an individual and based on this assessment an appropriate level of care can be recommended for the client. Based on the assessment, an individual is given a plan to address any issues/concerns that came to light during the assessment. Determining the right level of care is the first step in getting someone help. Drug and Alcohol Assessments are available for both Adolescents and Adults.
FEE: $140-$200
Priority Population
Please note that the individuals identified below must be offered an assessment and offered an admission for the recommended level of care immediately: Pregnant women who inject drug, pregnant women who use drug, persons who inject drugs, overdose survivors and Veterans. Preferential treatment provided for pregnant women.
Our outpatient treatment program is a state licensed program that offers group and individual sessions. We work with clients to develop an individualized treatment plan. Next, clients are exposed to various tools that will allow them to work through and develop skills that will help to overcome the inherent dangers involved with alcohol and other drug abuse/addiction.
