Consent for Treatment
River Rock Treatment believes that to provide the highest level of care possible, assessment and evaluation (initial and ongoing) is vital to my successful treatment episode. As services are customized to each client, the assessment and evaluation process must be completed prior to treatment services being offered. I understand that there will be ongoing evaluation during my treatment episode to maintain the most comprehensive understanding of my needs during treatment.
Treatment planning and treatment recommendations are based off a person-centered, collaborative process between client and treatment team. River Rock Treatment believes in an empowering and motivational approach, always taking into consideration what I want out of treatment. I understand that River Rock Treatment may make suggestions based off assessment, evaluation, behavior, and other factors, but will always strive to work together with me in order to create the most effective treatment planning process possible.
By signing this Consent, I am agreeing to accept the care provided by River Rock Treatment. I have the right at any time to rescind this consent and discontinue my treatment. I have the freedom to choose what I would like to address as my goals in treatment and to refuse suggestions and/or treatments as I see fit. I also understand that continued refusal to participate in treatment, recommendations, or clinical indicated services may lead to clinical intervention and potential discharge from the program.
Therapeutic services involve interventions at emotional, mental, and social levels. Even in successful interventions, I may experience unsettling interruptions in normal patterns, feelings, and social relationships. I understand the risk of these interventions. I understand that I have the right to meet with my therapist or any member of my treatment team individually to discuss uncomfortable feelings and alter my person-centered plan as necessary.
I understand that abstinence from alcohol and drugs is a requirement of the program and agree to submit to any requests for urinalysis. I understand that failure to submit to urinalysis or positive testing may result in my discharge from the program. I have been advised and made aware that urinalysis or positive testing will be at my expense and that I further have the right also at my own expense to have any urine screen re-tested. I understand that this procedure and the results are confidential and covered under Federal laws of confidentiality.
