Title:
Treatment Director, Outpatient & Re
The Outpatient Unit provides individual, group, and family counseling in a medically supervised setting. Evaluation of a client's medical status is an integral part of the total treatment process. CARS offers walk in assessment and treatment on demand for drug and alcohol issues.
To address families in recovery, CARS offers a six week program called the Family Rebuilding Program. Anyone who has a family member, significant other, or friend who is struggling with the disease of addiction is invited to join the program for support and education. This program is free, open to the public, and participants do not need to be a client of CARS.
The group meets Tuesday evenings 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for six weeks. The meetings are open-ended, repeating every six weeks. Participants can enter the sessions on any week as the program is continuous.
Clinical Intervention Services are offered based on the best practice Love First Clinical Intervention Model (www.lovefirst.net). This model of intervention which has been designated by Hazelden as a best practice and is defined by one rule: to persuade an individual suffering from addiction to enter treatment while preserving their dignity and worth as a human being. CARS trains and supports the family and other significant people in the addicted individual's life to lovingly and effectively persuade that individual to enter treatment.

Housing & Energy Services Director
TCAction operates several housing programs and maintains a list of affordable rental housing units, updated weekly, at the TCAction front desk.
- Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) (formerly Section 8) provides rental subsidies to income-eligible individuals and households. Participants generally pay between 30-40% of monthly adjusted income towards housing cost; the balance is directly paid to the landlord. Housing Services staff perform health and safety inspections on each housing unit before rental assistance can begin and at least once per year thereafter.
Applicants are ranked based on their application date and time. Current estimated wait list time is 24 to 36 months. Proof of residency documents are needed at time of application. - Family Unification: coordinates and stabilizes the housing situation for distressed families. Families with children at risk of out-of-home placement or delayed in returning from care because the family lacks adequate housing are eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers under this program. Family must meet HCVP eligibility requirements. TC DSS determines eligibility for this special program.
- Family Self-Sufficiency: helps eligible Housing Choice Voucher families become economically self-sufficient by setting and working toward reasonable and realistic education and employment goals. Upon successfully completing the program, a participant who has increased earned income may receive funds from an escrow account established in his/her name. These funds can be used for self-sufficiency needs such as paying for education or job skills training, purchasing a reliable vehicle or making a down payment on a home.
- Chartwell House: permanent single room occupancy (SRO), subsidized supportive residence for homeless men in active recovery from alcohol and/or substance abuse. Chartwell House staff works with the tenants to create a supportive, safe and sober living environment and to use community support services reach individual goals.
