The Case Management unit can help you access treatment and services related to the goal of addiction recovery.

Screening

Screening is the first step in identifying the presence of a possible substance abuse problem. Basic information is collected in order to determine any immediate care needs which may result in a referral to a detoxification or other medical facility. If no immediate care needs are identified, an evaluation is then scheduled.

Evaluation

An evaluation involves meeting with a Case Management Specialist privately to identify the need for drug and alcohol treatment, to decide what level of care is appropriate, and to identify what other needs or concerns may affect recovery. The Case Management Specialist will also determine financial eligibility for treatment.

Referral

If treatment is appropriate and funding eligibility has been determined, the Case Management Specialist will make a referral to an appropriate treatment facility. If additional services are needed upon completion of treatment, the Case Management Specialist will help connect you with the resources you need. This may include a referral to the Intensive Case Management program, also available through Dauphin County Department of Drug & Alcohol Services.
