Commonwealth Counseling Service Inc

Commonwealth Counseling Service Inc specializes in outpatient addiction treatment designed specifically for individuals facing legal requirements around substance use. Their core offering is a comprehensive 20-hour alcohol/drug education program that meets court mandates while establishing a foundation for ongoing recovery. Each session runs 90 minutes, allowing participants to maintain work schedules while fulfilling legal obligations.

The program combines substance abuse assessments with educational components that help clients understand addiction as a medical condition requiring long-term management. This approach prepares participants for potential next steps in their recovery journey, whether that involves residential treatment, ongoing outpatient care, or connection to sober living communities in the Northern Kentucky region.

Licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Commonwealth Counseling provides official substance abuse assessments that carry legal and clinical weight. These assessments serve dual purposes: meeting court requirements while providing individuals with a clear understanding of their treatment needs. The evaluation process helps clients and their families understand appropriate levels of care and recovery options available throughout Kentucky.

Their assessment services often become the starting point for individuals who may need residential treatment, outpatient programs, or aftercare planning. By providing this crucial first step in the recovery process, Commonwealth Counseling helps connect people to the broader addiction treatment network in Northern Kentucky and beyond.

Located in Florence's business district on Houston Road, Commonwealth Counseling serves clients throughout Boone County and the broader Northern Kentucky region. Their Monday through Friday schedule, with extended Friday morning hours, accommodates working adults managing both employment and recovery obligations. This accessibility makes them a practical choice for individuals balancing court requirements with family and professional responsibilities.

The center's focus on adults navigating legal-system referrals positions them as specialists in a unique segment of the recovery community. Their understanding of court timelines, legal requirements, and the stress of mandated treatment helps create a more supportive environment for clients who may be entering addiction treatment involuntarily but can benefit from educational programming and assessment services.
