Mission Council on Alcohol Abuse for the Spanish Speaking, Inc., a non-profit organization, has been committed to the prevention and treatment of alcohol and other drug-related problems for individuals, families, and groups of underserved members of San Francisco communities by providing leadership and community care needs in a safe and culturally relevant setting. History The Mission Council was created in 1978 to provide drug and alcohol counseling services to individuals and families living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our services have always been completely bilingual while maintaining a culturally relevant setting. We service clients from all socio-economic backgrounds, and are committed to addressing issues relating to domestic violence, aftercare counseling, housing and job development to allow the individual a functional place in his or her community. Drug and Alcohol Outpatient Treatment Services provided are:
Programs Latino Family Counseling The first step is to make a genuine effort to stay free of alcohol and drugs. Therefore, participants are encouraged to maintain and protect their sobriety under the guidelines of the harm reduction model. The program combines education with group therapy and individual counseling to help the client understand the addiction process. The program teaches its clients how to arrest the addiction in order to maintain abstinence and to make possible the achievement of treatment goals. Clients are also exposed to healthy life choices and taught how to apply these new choices to their lives.
These programs provide an alternative to incarceration for first time offenders with drug or alcohol charges. With structure and guidance, the Mission Council will provide recovery for drug and alcohol abuse as well as an opportunity to learn new attitudes and behaviors to avoid arrest. Intensive Outpatient Program The purpose of this program is to successfully prepare individuals for independent living within their family structure while focusing on developing their sobriety, financial responsibility, housing opportunity, and knowledge of all community resources. This program is facilitated in monolingual Spanish only. The program has a trangender component as well. Domestic Violence & Anger Management (for men only) Domestic Violence has become a very serious problem in many households in the United States today. Often it strongly related to substance abuse issues as well. We offer a 12-month domestic violence program for men only. This program directly confronts the client's denial and then teaches him new ways to think, act, and communicate with his loved ones in non-violent ways. Intake Procedure Each new client is assigned an initial interview for assessment. The client's interview counselor, together with the client, completes the Drug and Alcohol Services Registration form and Drug and Alcohol Client Episode Summary at intake. Within 24 hours, the data is put into a county-wide data computer system. In conjunction, there are a series of other forms that gather more diagnostic and demographic information, as well as forms that document the delivery of services and the client's progress. Quality Assurance Gladys Soto, MFTI, Mission Council Clinical Supervisor, conducts a weekly supervision meeting that includes quality assurance activities. This supervision group meets every Tuesday between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. All clinical counselors meet with Mr. Soto to discuss and review issues regarding individual cases. The quality assurance procedure is inherent with case management review. Mr. Soto also conducts individual clinical supervisor meetings, at which time he signs off on the final review. The front office personnel review client charts regularly, and any irregularity or deficiency is immediately reported to the Clinical Supervisor.
