Intensive
Outpatient (IOP) services are provided to those individuals
who are in need of more intensive treatment than traditional outpatient,
yet are still one step away from needing residential services. These individuals
continue to struggle with substance abuse regardless of the negative consequences.
They have built up a tolerance and therefore need increasing amounts.
Anger Management's goal is to reduce both emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes.
The Sanford Office holds the Adolescent Anger Management sessions. These sessions serve adolescent females and males ages 12 to 18. The program is held Saturday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. At each session a trained counselor will be on site to teach adolescents many ways to manage their anger. Once the program is over, a certificate of completion is issued. The sessions will be capped at 12 adolescents.
The Altamonte Springs location serves adults in Anger Management. Participants
are usually either there voluntarily or are ordered by the Judicial System.
The group tentatively meets the first Saturday of every month and the
meeting typically lasts about eight hours. In order for the court-ordered
participants to complete the program, they are required to demonstrate
increased knowledge of anger and anger management.
Drug Court's mission is to: Unite judiciary, criminal justice entities, substance abuse treatment providers and the community in a singular program that reduces drug use by non-violent offenders, restores them to law-abiding citizens, and lessens the fiscal impact on society.
The new Drug Court in Seminole County began in July 2001 with The Grove Counseling Center as the primary treatment provider.
Clients qualify for Drug Court under the following requirements: be charged with at least one non-violent felony drug related offense, live in Seminole County, have a serious drug/alcohol problem, be approved by the State Attorney's Office, be mentally capable of benefiting from Drug Court and be motivated to complete the program.
The program consists of four graduated phases, each lasting from one to
six months. Each phase has various requirements for participants that
include but are not limited to: group therapy sessions, individual counseling
sessions, random urinalyses, NA/AA attendance, and scheduled court meetings
with the Judge. Clients successfully completing the program have all charges
dropped and return to a productive lifestyle.
Tobacco 411 is a program designed to help young smokers reevaluate their decision to use tobacco products. If adolescents are caught purchasing tobacco underage, they must attend a school approved anti-tobacco program, such as The Grove's Tobacco 411. Tobacco 411 is a four-hour educational program approved by the Seminole County School Board. Tobacco 411 is held at both the Winter Springs Police Department and at The Grove's Sanford Outpatient and Prevention facility.
Victim Awareness is a program for those who have committed crimes
against another person. It helps the offender to understand how crime
affects others and themselves. Those that fall in that category are the
Department of Correction clients. This is typically an 8-hour class.
Rational Recovery Addictions Program (R.R.A.P.) is a

and employment. To be eligible for the program, offenders must be charged
with a substance abuse related offense and be facing at least one year
of incarceration. Those who successfully complete the program are released
from jail after six months.
