Substance Abuse / Alcohol Assessments

Assessments for Substance Use and Alcohol

Centennial Park Counseling is committed to offering extensive assistance to individuals dealing with substance use challenges. A primary service we provide is Substance Abuse Evaluations and Alcohol Assessments, which are crucial for individuals who have experienced legal difficulties, especially concerning DUI offenses and other substance-related issues.

In the state of Michigan, individuals who have been convicted of a DUI and are looking to reinstate their driver’s license are required to participate in a restoration hearing with the Driver Assessment & Appeal Division (DAAD). A critical component of this process is the completion of a substance abuse evaluation. This evaluation serves as a formal assessment of the individual’s substance use history and current status, and it must provide compelling evidence that the individual is no longer at risk for future incidents of drunk driving.

At Centennial Park Counseling, we understand the importance of this evaluation in the context of your legal and personal journey. Our trained professionals are equipped to conduct thorough assessments that not only meet the requirements set forth by the DAAD but also offer insights into your overall well-being and recovery journey.

If you are in need of a Substance Abuse Evaluation, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our team is here to assist you in navigating this process and providing the support you need. To schedule your evaluation, please contact us at (616) 949-9550. We look forward to helping you take this important step towards regaining your driving privileges and moving forward in your life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

The mind possesses an innate ability to heal, akin to the body’s healing processes. In 1987, Francine Shapiro leveraged this understanding to create Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic approach that capitalizes on the brain’s natural healing abilities. EMDR has since evolved into a highly effective therapeutic approach for a variety of issues.

Group Therapy

Are you seeking a secure environment to express your thoughts and gain support from others? Regardless of your challenges, group counseling may serve as an invaluable method for obtaining psychological assistance while simultaneously fostering a network of healthy relationships.

Play Therapy

Play therapy provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for young children and adolescents to express and process their experiences and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. This therapeutic approach recognizes that children often lack the verbal skills to articulate their feelings and thoughts in a traditional manner and instead, they will naturally communicate through play.

Psychological Testing

Psychological testing and evaluation involve a thorough set of assessments aimed at uncovering the root causes of mental health symptoms and disorders. This process is essential for achieving precise diagnoses and informing effective treatment plans. These evaluations provide valuable insights that help us understand the complexities of an individual and provide effective interventions.
