How it Works
Court Referral
Path to Treatment
Court Referral: Clients are referred to the PIC Center by court entities.
Contact Requirement: Upon referral, the client has 48 hours to contact the PIC Center and schedule an assessment, subject to the center's availability.
Intake Process: Court-referred clients will complete intake paperwork and undergo a thorough evaluation at the PIC Center.
Treatment Referral: If the evaluation indicates the need for treatment, the PIC Center staff will refer the client to a trusted treatment center that best meets their needs.
​​​Step-Down Options: During the referral process, PIC staff will discuss step-down options for the client’s continued care after the initial treatment phase, ensuring a comprehensive plan for the following six months.
Community
Path to Treatment
Outreach: Any individual seeking treatment options or resources for opioid use and/or other substance use disorders may contact the PIC Center during normal business hours.
​​Assessment: Individuals will undergo a brief questionnaire regarding their OUD/SUD.
​Treatment Referral: Based on the responses to those questions, individuals will be provided with one (1) or more treatment options within a 50 mile radius
Treatment Center Collaboration
Once the client is referred to a treatment center, the PIC Center will rely on the treatment provider to provide progress updates and ensure that the client participates in the recommended care.
PIC Center Level of Care Assessment
The PIC Center will complete an initial assessment of each client to determine the most appropriate level of care. This assessment will be based on, but not limited to, the following factors: ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) recommendations, alcohol and drug assessments, clinical judgment, treatment team discussions, and the client's overall stability.
​
The primary objective of this level of care assessment is to provide clients with treatment options that are best suited to their individual needs while considering their support systems, responsibilities, and any barriers to accessing care.
Levels of Care
Inpatient
Residential
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Outpatient
Sober Living Homes
Recovery Support
Highest level of care for clients in immediate crisis requiring intensive monitoring and treatment.
Structured treatment environment with 24-hour support.
A more flexible treatment option for clients who do not require inpatient care but still need intensive support.
Regular therapy sessions with less frequent meetings, ideal for clients who are stable but require ongoing support.
Provides stable housing for those in recovery.
Provides ongoing recovery coaching and support services for clients who have achieved stability but need help maintaining progress.
Assessment and Recommendation Process
Once the initial assessment is complete, the PIC Center will recommend a level of care and tailor the navigation process around that recommendation. For example, a typical treatment and navigation pathway might look like the following:
John Doe will begin a 12-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that the PIC Center recommends and refers to. Upon completion of the IOP, John Doe will transition to an outpatient provider who will manage his mental health and substance use needs. Throughout his 6-month journey with the PIC Center, John Doe will check in weekly with a PIC navigator and complete all required assessments to ensure continued progress and proper care.
