Monitoring
While you and your loved ones know that you’ve changed, others may insist on “trusting but verifying.” So let us help with that.
The Orchard Recovery Center provides drug and alcohol monitoring services to individuals who must prove their ongoing abstinence for professional, legal or personal reasons. Monitoring involves regular check-in appointments, random drug and alcohol screening, and monthly reports to a contracted designate.
Monitoring Program Outline
The client is required to sign and adhere to an Aftercare Plan and Monitoring Contract. Regularly scheduled check-in appointments with a monitor are required as part of the Aftercare Plan and Monitoring Contract. The frequency and type of check-in (i.e. telephone or in-person) depends on specifics of the individual’s monitoring contract. The client will submit to regular and random drug and alcohol screening. Screens are requisitioned outside of appointment times and must be attended as requested. Recovery is a process not an event
The designate (i.e. the employer, court or employee assistance provider) receives regular reports of the client’s compliance with the Aftercare Plan. Positive drug screens, refusal to attend a drug screen and repeated failure to attend scheduled appointments are immediately reported to the designate.
We are here to help answer any questions you have about treatment, admission or monitoring for you or your loved one.
