<p><strong>ABOUT PROVIDENCE HEALTH & SERVICES - ST. PETER CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in Lacey, Wash., Providence St. Peter Chemical Dependency Center has been offering <strong>outpatient services for adults and adolescents seeking treatment for substance abuse</strong> since 1986. Treatment options include an <strong>intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient program (OP)</strong>, a monthly monitor group, individual and family counseling, an abuse education group, and a family program. Detox is not available on-site. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The treatment process begins with a <strong>comprehensive bio-psycho-social assessment upon admission</strong> to develop an individualized treatment plan.
