Outpatient Substance Abuse Services
MWRS A&D Outpatient Services serves adults (ages 18 and above). MWRS recognizes the evidence of healing that happens
when gender issues are addressed, and eligible adults receive gender specific services when possible, including
collaboration with community partners to achieve the best treatment experience for you..
MWRS utilizes the Medicine Wheel in a variety of ways, including as a guide for human development, connection to others, wellness,
and to conceptualize and connect the skills that are promoted in individual and group session, and recovery related activities.
All service recipients are placed according to ASAM level of care criteria, and participate at the least intrusive level where therapeutic
gains can occur. Regular service review ensures fluidity in level of care and planning of service activities.
Mental health symptoms are examined as important issues as they connect to recovery and general life functioning.
MWRS Provides the following ASAM Level of Care Treatment Services as defined by the Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division: Behavioral Health Services - Chapter 309, Division 19, Outpatient Behavioral Health Services 309-019-0100 :
“Early Intervention ASAM Level of Care 0.5 (ASAM Level 0.5)” means organized services designed to explore and address problems or risk factors that may be related to substance use and assist individuals in recognizing the harmful consequences of high-risk substance use and addictive behavior. ASAM Level 0.5 may be delivered as a Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) service where the length and number of contacts may be mandated, and completion of the program may be a prerequisite to the reinstatement of driving privileges. Individuals eligible for this ASAM level of care do not meet DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for a substance use disorder.
“Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Services ASAM Level of Care 1” means organized services delivered in a variety of settings and include a vast array of outpatient services and supports, which are tailored to the severity and function of the individual and typically are less than 9 contact hours per week. ASAM Level 1 programs enhance access to care and facilitate earlier engagement into treatment. Services and supports address major lifestyle, attitudinal and behavioral issues related to the substance use that detract from progress towards service plan goals.
“Intensive Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Services ASAM Level of Care 2.1” means structured services and supports, mostly comprised of counseling and education. Mental health services are either offered by the program or tightly coordinated with a community provided. When planning a transition to ASAM Level 1 services, a program may provide less than the minimum number of contact hours for up to two weeks: 9 for adults and 6 for children.
“Partial Hospitalization Services ASAM Level of Care 2.5” means clinically intensive programming of 20 contact hours or more per week,
which is specified by the service plan. Needs identified in Dimensions 1, 2 and 3 warrant daily monitoring or management within an outpatient or
combined in a residential setting. Programs staff interdisciplinary teams and offer intensive case management.
Psychiatric and medical services are either offered by the program or coordinated.
MWRS strives to provide effective, culturally informed services that restore health to individuals, families, tribes, and communities.
The MWRS team has a strong social justice foundation; issues such as poverty, racism, and all forms of discrimination
and oppression impact the mental and emotional wellness of the individuals receiving treatment services,
and are therefore priorities to be addressed in service planning and delivery.
