Screening and Assessments

StarCare’s dedicated, licensed staff provide outreach, screenings, assessments, and referrals to those who are actively seeking substance use services and/or support. The OSAR team conducts verbal screenings to gather information pertaining to the severity of use and how use has impacted day-to-day functioning or mental health in order to provide appropriate referrals to recovery resources.

Interventions

Following the screening and assessment, individuals can expect short-term case management services in addition to the opportunity of up to six brief motivational interviewing sessions with their OSAR counselor.

Support

OSAR counselors are available for additional support and case management until the individual successfully enters into their referred treatment service. Our OSAR counselors also remain as a point of contact for future recovery support needs.

For uninsured or underinsured individuals, the OSAR Team can determine if you are approved for full or partial financial assistance toward your referred treatment services.
