For Individuals And Families With Mental Health And Substance Use Challenges

Studies suggest that group therapy is a very effective approach to improving one’s overall quality of life. Hearing how others cope with their challenges can offer great insight into solving one’s own. They are an important part of your treatment at Journey.

Benefits Of Group Therapy

• Due to the nature of the group experience, individuals and families may find groups to be even more beneficial than individualized therapy sessions.
• Groups offer a safe environment in which one can develop a skill or improve the quality of interpersonal relationships.
• Diversity is another important benefit of group therapy. People have different personalities and backgrounds, and they look at situations in different ways. By seeing how other people tackle problems and make positive changes, you can discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.
• Journey offers a variety of groups to assist individuals with their day-to-day challenges. All groups are guided by knowledgeable staff who are concerned about the growth of each group member.

What Should I Know About Group Therapy?

• Group therapy involves one or more therapists who lead a group of roughly five to 15 consumers. It is evidenced based.
• Typically, groups meet for an hour or two each week. Some people attend individual or family therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only.
• Many groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, trauma social anxiety, or substance use. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem.

For Families With Behavioral, Mental Health, And Substance Use Challenges

Family therapy addresses concerns involving two or more individuals in a family. Sometimes these concerns can be the result of larger family issues that have not been addressed. Journey therapists will use evidence-based practices to help you and your family members explore and confidently address your issues.

What To Expect

• Family members may meet individually with a therapist first and then meet together.
• Supportive counseling and psychiatry services may be available for children/youth who struggle to maintain psychiatric stability in the community.
• We offer substance use treatment to individuals with a substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health concerns. Individuals work one-on-one with therapists and in groups, learning from others with shared life experiences.
• We also offer psychiatry for mental health issues and medication-assisted therapies for Opioid addiction, including Suboxone® and Vivitrol®.

If you have been convicted of Operating While Intoxicated (O.W.I.) while operating a vehicle, motorcycle, or boat, chances are you have been court-ordered to receive an assessment.

You may be facing potentially serious consequences and this can feel overwhelming and stressful. Knowing how our process works may help relieve some of this anxiety. 

What Are Your First Steps?

Determine where you need to schedule your assessment:

• If you are a resident of Dane County, WI,  contact Journey’s Clinical Assessment Unit to set up an appointment for an assessment.  There are two ways to do this:

• • • Complete this online form:  “Clinical Assessment Unit Appointment Request”
      OR
    • Call 608-280-2630
    • PLEASE NOTE: Due to a high volume of requests, please allow up to one week for processing. All appointment requests are handled in the order in which they are received.

At your appointment, you will complete an intoxicated driver assessment consisting of substance use history, alcohol and drug inventory, and supplemental information. Your appointment will last approximately 30-60 minutes depending on the details and circumstances of your case. During this time, we will further explore the context of your alcohol and drug use, as well as the impact it is having on your life. Based on what is learned, recommendations will be made for follow-up education and/or treatment as part of your driver safety plan to address any concerns related to your alcohol and/or drug use.

• If you are NOT a resident of Dane County, WI, but instead a resident of a different Wisconsin county, you must be assessed in the county in which you reside in. For a list of assessment facilities in Wisconsin by county, go to https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/idp/directory.htm
  
• If you received a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) in Illinois, you must be assessed in Illinois. Please contact the Illinois Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse general number at 312-814-3840.
• For out of state residents, please contact the Department of Transportation for your state and ask for the assessment facility for your county.

The Alternative Sanctions Program provides initial screening, assessment, and referrals to appropriate treatment for individuals in jail diversion programs of three Dane County Treatment Courts:

• OWI Treatment Court for repeat intoxicated drivers.
• Drug Treatment Court for high-risk individuals charged with a drug-driven felony offense.
• Drug Diversion Court monitors for medium-risk individuals charged with a drug-driven felony offense, driven by drugs. The felonies are non-violent and did not involve weapons.

Initiating Services

• All consumers in Alternative Sanctions are court-ordered and each Treatment Court has different expectations.
• Your screening will be completed by a professional clinician.

Success

• Seventy percent of individuals arrested for the first time on drug charges do not re-offend if they successfully complete a Drug Diversion Court program. That’s 15 percent better than the national average.
• The Drug Court Diversion Program alone saved 9,973 days of incarceration and, as a result, $1.2 million in jail costs in 2015.
