Clinical Stabilization Service

Inpatient substance unit for individuals not requiring detox who have a substance use disorder and/or co-occurring mental health disorder

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). 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.
