ADIS & Early Intervention
Not everyone who seeks support is in crisis. Our early intervention and education programs are designed for individuals who want to address substance use concerns before they become more serious.
Alcohol & Drug Information School (ADIS) An 8-hour educational program held every third Saturday of the month. Registration is required. This class is often court-ordered following a first offense and is designed to provide foundational education about substance use and its impact.
Victim Impact Panel Also held every third Saturday. This program provides participants with powerful firsthand perspectives on the impact of substance use related offenses. Registration required.
Early Intervention Designed for individuals who are not yet in crisis but want support and tools before patterns become more serious. Ideal for first-time offenders or those seeking proactive help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DUI assessment? A DUI assessment is an evaluation that determines the level of substance use treatment needed based on your history and circumstances. It is often required by the court following a DUI charge.
What is deferred prosecution? Deferred prosecution is a two-year court-supervised treatment program available to individuals charged with certain offenses. Successful completion may result in dismissal of charges. We are an approved deferred prosecution provider in Washington State.
What is the difference between outpatient and IOP? Outpatient programs meet less frequently and are suited for individuals with milder substance use concerns. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) meet more frequently and are designed for those who need more structured support while still living at home.
