A couple of months ago a patient arrived for a scheduled
assessment to participate in our Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient
Program. He was a young man who had a
history of more than 1 DUI and was living in a detention facility. Clearly he was not interested in
treatment. He reported being in three
previous treatment programs and needed to meet requirements to get probation.
