Eight-Hour Adult Substance Abuse Education Class
(Formerly referred to by the State of Kansas as the Alcohol and Drug Information School)
Choices offers this program generally the first Saturday of each month at our Olathe office and generally the third Saturday of the month at our Lawrence office.
This is a casual, non-judgmental, dialogue-based program, designed to inform and support the client in their efforts to satisfy Court mandates as well as make safer decisions in the future. A licensed addiction counselor discusses with the class attendees what will be needed to successfully comply with diversion/probation terms, while increasing the participants' understanding of Kansas substance-related laws, developing an awareness of an individual's risks in substance use/abuse, recognizing the influences for use in our society, and developing the tools needed for an individual to protect themselves physically, emotionally, socially, and legally from chemical abuse. At both locations the education program begins at 10:00am and finishes at 6:00pm. The cost of the class is $85 (no checks or American Express please), payable on the class date. The Lawrence location accepts only cash and money order. Please call (913) 390-0100 to schedule attendance.
Twelve-hour Adult Substance Abuse Education Class
(Formerly referred to as the Level II Alcohol and Drug Information School)
The participant in the twelve-hour class will attend a full eight-hour Saturday class and another four-hour class, as indicated above.
This program delves deeper into the consequences of family dynamics, the brain's functioning regarding substance use and abuse, the emotional connection between the individual and substance abuse, and increases recognition regarding how our social and physical dynamics can affect our decisions to participate in alcohol and drug use. The cost of the twelve-hour class is $145 (no checks or American Express please); the participant is welcome to divide payments between the two class dates. Again, please contact (913) 390-0100 for details and to schedule attendance. **The Lawrence office does not take credit or debit; please bring cash or money order, or call the Choices office during business hours if you wish to pre-pay by card over the telephone.
Please call Choices at (913) 390-0100 to save your seat.
