COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics
SSTAR is distributing FREE COVID-19 rapid test kits on Fridays to anyone who stops in (even if not receiving a vaccination).
SSTAR’s Clinical Stabilization Service (CSS) program provides services that enhance motivation and encourage recovery through successful linkage to aftercare. The CSS unit serves primarily as a “step-down” from detox (ATS) or our co-occurring disorders unit (DDS). SSTAR welcomes referrals from outside facilities, as well as self-referrals from the community as direct admissions. Treatment includes individual and group counseling, education, case management, comprehensive individualized assessment, individual treatment planning, and nursing services. Transportation is provided to interviews for aftercare placement to long term residential programs, sober houses, TSS, and medical appointments. SSTAR believes that the path to recovery must be tailored to the individual. CSS responds to the individual’s treatment preferences and readiness to change. CSS incorporates the 12-step program, medication assisted treatment and motivational interviewing, in a trauma-informed setting. Recognizing the critical importance of length of time in treatment to improved outcomes, CSS encourages extended (3-6 months) connection with a recovery support navigator (RSN) or recovery coach.

The average length of stay is 14-21 days. This varies based on the individual’s needs and after care planning.
You will be sharing your bedroom with between one and five other clients and the rooms have very limited storage space. We must ask you to limit what you bring with you.
Here at SSTAR, we strongly encourage loved one’s involvement in treatment and we offer half hour-long visits on the weekends.
To promote an atmosphere focused on treatment and recovery, clients are allowed to use the phone with staff at designated times and individual cell phone use is not permitted.
