Some of the services that are available are: short term counseling, group counseling, individual counseling, prevention services, referral services, intervention services, treatment support and aftercare support.

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of the program. Exceptions occur in cases where there is a danger to self or others, cases of child abuse or criminal action.
