ACDM Assessment and Csl of Guilford - Guilford

Comprehensive Assessments for Tailored Care

Treatment begins with in-depth alcohol and drug assessments. These evaluations help determine the right level of care for each client, whether a short-term program for immediate stabilization or a longer-term plan to support lasting change. Specialized DWI assessments are also available for those seeking to regain driving privileges after an impaired driving conviction.

Flexible Outpatient Treatment

As an outpatient program, the center makes it possible for clients to attend treatment while maintaining responsibilities at work, school, or home. Services include individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and substance use education. Treatment can be structured for short-term needs or extended for those requiring more gradual recovery.

Education and Community Awareness

Alcohol and drug education at the center is aimed at reducing stigma. By teaching individuals and families about the causes and consequences of substance use, the program encourages understanding and equips loved ones to identify early warning signs. This community-centered approach helps prevent future struggles and promotes compassion for those in recovery.

Support for Legal and Monitoring Needs

The center provides specially designed programs for DUI/DWI clients, helping participants meet court requirements while addressing underlying substance use challenges. ACDM also offers continuous alcohol monitoring through SCRAM bracelets. This tool provides accountability and helps individuals maintain sobriety while they work toward recovery goals.

Serving a Wide Range of Adults

Programs welcome young adults, men and women, older adults, veterans, and active-duty military. Pregnant and postpartum women are supported with programs designed to prioritize both parent and child well-being. Case management and aftercare services ensure that individuals have ongoing support beyond their primary treatment, reducing the risk of relapse and promoting long-term stability.
