Services

Most clients begin services with SAGE with a comprehensive assessment that combines referral information, assessment tools, and clients’ individual needs to generate a treatment plan.

Most SAGE clients are assigned to a treatment group. These can be either in-person or via telehealth and use evidence-based interventions to focus on the treatment needs identified at assessment. Groups can occur between 1 and 3 times per week depending on an individuals’ specific needs.

SAGE can offer individual counseling to deliver interventions offered in group, as well as one on one short term general counseling to help individuals with immediate stabilization and coping skills during their time at SAGE.

Some clients will be recommended education classes that occur across a condensed either 8- or 16-hour course taking place during consecutive days. These classes are educational in content and address specific referral needs.

All SAGE clients participating in treatment are assigned a case manager. Case managers support clients to both navigate services within SAGE as well as resources in the community to ensure that clients are set up to be successful. Case managers meet with clients at the frequency needed to support individualized goals.

• The PRSS help with housing, staying sober, and other challenges of reentering the community.
• All SAGE peer specialists have been involved with the justice system, and some have even completed the SAGE program themselves.
• PRSS provide in-person, office-based, and virtual support, making sure clients get the help they need in different ways.
