Who Qualifies for SACOT?
The North Carolina SACOT (Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment) program is designed for individuals seeking outpatient treatment for substance abuse. To qualify for this program, clients typically need to meet the following criteria:
- Substance Use Issues: The client should have a documented history of substance abuse or dependence that requires treatment but not necessarily 24-hour supervision or inpatient care. Client should not be in jeopardy of going into withdrawal from Alcohol or Benzos. If clients come in with a positive for Alcohol or Benzos they will not be accepted but referred to detox. Clients that come in with a COWS score of moderate or less, they can be started on MAT medications
- Assessment Results: An assessment by a qualified professional is often required to determine the severity of the substance abuse problem and to ensure that outpatient treatment is appropriate.
- Commitment to Treatment: Clients should demonstrate a willingness and readiness to engage in and benefit from outpatient therapy, including attending sessions regularly and participating in therapeutic activities. Clients must be able to attend to their ADL’s.
- Mental and Physical Health: While the program is designed for individuals who do not require intensive inpatient care, clients must be in a stable enough mental and physical health condition to participate in outpatient therapy. Clients will be screened for COVID (if symptoms or exposure exist) If clients test positive for COVID they will not be admitted to the program.
- Support System: A supportive environment or network is beneficial for clients to successfully complete the program, though it might not be a strict requirement. Family, friends, or rides that bring clients to the treatment center must wait until client is cleared to be admitted.
Overall, the SACOT program is aimed at individuals who need structured substance abuse treatment but do not require the level of care provided in a residential or inpatient setting. They will need to live in a sober housing placement. They need to be in treatment 6 days a week. This is a combination of Groups and individual therapy sessions.
