TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The treatment program at Helping Hands Community-Based Services uses a comprehensive wellness assessment to develop individualized treatment plans for clients. In addition to its wellness assessments, Helping Hands also offers several other evaluation services, including psychiatric diagnostics, drug screenings, and anger management assessments.
Helping Hands also offers case management services, and clients work with case managers to coordinate their care. Managers may coordinate therapy sessions, as well as medication management, crisis intervention needs, and periodic testing to name a few options.
