ABOUT ACT COUNSELING AND EDUCATION
ACT Counseling and Education is a counseling service based in Phoenix, Arizona that offers drug, alcohol, and gambling counseling through intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment. We have three locations in Glendale, Chandler, and Scottsdale. Our services are available to adults, families, and couples.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Our treatment program begins with assessments for gambling, substance abuse, and Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. Clients will participate in a combination of one-on-one therapy sessions, acceptance therapy, and commitment therapy. Our gambling, alcohol, and drug counseling clients meet for three hours one night per week.
The programs we offer focus on relapse prevention and recovery coaching. Our family programs last 12 to 20 weeks and are designed to help build relationships and trust. The Actualizing Change Program is a 16-week program that helps clients build better relationships and start a new life post-recovery. We also offer an eight-week IOP and a 20-week life skills group.
At ACT, we provide expert consultation on gambling and substance abuse, as well as an anger education program. Aftercare support is available for those who require it.
