What is Post Treatment Supervision?

PTS is a comprehensive, structured program of support, overseen by certified addition medicine physicians, psychologists, and masters level therapists.

The program includes random drug testing, bi-monthly relapse prevention groups facilitated by experienced professionals, monthly individual evaluations, and 24/7 support.  PTS staff members are available anytime, day or night.

How does PTS work?

Each participant signs an individualized contract based on their current needs. This contract provides accountability and defines all elements of the program.

Participants are randomly drug tested at least twice a month and are required to attend bimonthly relapse prevention groups.  Each individual meets once a month with their primary PTS staff member for a thorough evaluation and every participant's care is supervised by a certified addiction physician.

The PTS contract is designed to work with the participant's therapists and physicians.  It is not a substitute for individual or family therapy.

Who should enroll in PTS?

PTS is available for anyone eighteen or older, who has successfully completed a primary treatment program for alcohol and/or drug abuse and lives in California or Arizona .

What about relapse?

One of the unique features of the PTS program is the twenty-four hour availability of a qualified staff member.  If a participant is slipping back into relapse behavior, PTS is there to help, day or night.

PTS is cost effective.

The cost of the program, (which may be partially reimbursed by insurance), is priced according to each participant's needs. The basic monthly program includes two relapse prevention groups, two drug tests, a one-on-one evaluation, and twenty-four hour support. The founders of PTS are committed to making the program available to as many people as possible, thus keeping the cost reasonable and affordable for those who make the commitment to long-term recovery.
