Education
In response to requests from the judicial, business, and treatment communities, Lake-Geauga now offers an eight hour Education Program on the third Saturday of each month. The program is open to anyone interested in gaining further knowledge and insight into the disease of addiction and options for prevention and recovery.
This program is appropriate for individuals having a positive drug screen at work, a first time substance-related legal infraction, or those experiencing consequences of substance use.
The program provides information about substance use and abuse and the effects on physical, mental, and behavioral health as well as the disease concept and denial systems.
Participants are encouraged to examine their own behaviors in light of the information.
Courts, businesses, and treatment providers may refer people and individuals may self-refer.
