A.     Unity offers a multiple variety of services, from partial care to outpatient and everything in-between. We have a token economy store. It is an incentive program put in place so clients can earn tokens in order to go into the Unity Store one day a week. This allows them to “purchase” items ranging from clothing, food, and hygiene products.   We are proud to have a regular end of the month party that celebrates clients who have continued to show progress with their treatment, sobriety goals, and different goals they are working on with their counselor. There are raffles and a special dessert.

A: Group counseling provides treatment in a format with participants with related problems. People in group counseling improve not only from the interventions of the Group Facilitator, but also from observing others in the group and receiving feedback from group members.Unlike individual therapy sessions, group counseling offers participants the opportunity to interact with others with similar issues in a safe, supportive environment. Group counseling can provide  you with feedback from other people and help you realize that you’re not alone. Members are  encouraged to turn to each other for support, feedback, and connection, instead of getting all of that from the Group Facilitator.Group counseling can  help you relate to others (and yourself) in healthier ways. In addition to strengthening your relationships skills and reducing isolation, group therapy is especially valuable for people dealing with depression, social anxiety and life transitions.
