Level I Education
This is the minimal number of hours of Education that the courts can impose. Level I Education is generally mandated when it is a first offense and a person’s Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is in the .05-.079 range. The classes consist of a total of 12 hours. It can be fulfilled in a variety of time-efficient sessions. Not all agencies offer Level I Education, but at All Seasons Counseling, LLC, we do. The total cost of Level I Education is $920.00, which includes the intake and workbook.
Level II Education
The courts may mandate this when there are no prior offenses, but the BAC is fairly high. It can also be required if there are prior offenses with a BAC of .08 or above. The requirement to complete Level II Education is a total of 24 hours. Attending 12 2-hour sessions, one time a week, completes this requirement. Fees for Level II Education include a one-time intake fee of $125.00, which includes the workbook and administrative costs. Weekly session fees are $35.00.
Level II Therapy Treatment Tracks
Depending on the number of prior alcohol related offenses and/or the outcome of the BAC, the court may require additional therapy. This is determined by the judicial system, and possibly the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle). Any Track of Therapy that is sentenced by the courts and/or DMV will begin after the successful completion of Level II Education.
Tracks of Therapy run as followed:
Track A: 42 hours (21 weeks)
Track B: 52 hours (26 weeks)
Track C: 68 hours (34 weeks)
Track D: 86 hours (43 weeks)
The transition from Level II Education into Treatment is smooth, and weekly session fees remain at $35.00.

EMDR & TRAUMA
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a combination of complimentary therapies that helps people heal from a spectrum of events. It has been successful in treating most problems, from complex trauma to disturbing life experiences. EMDR has received global recognition for relieving the effects of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) caused by traumatic events. Such events that cause PTSD can be rape, combat, various types of abuse, and auto accidents. EMDR has also been successful in helping people who feel distress in life to heal and feel more whole after stressful situations. Some of these situations include divorce, grief and loss, and life changes.
Frequently, when an incident occurs in a person’s life, it can be a challenge to find a way to process the event in a healthy, adaptive way. The event can become a “stuck” or “locked” memory, thus creating symptoms that are distressing or uncomfortable. Various emotional symptoms can occur, as well as disturbing thoughts, images, and even physical ramifications. Without treatment, it can continue to be displayed in outward, detrimental behaviors. People who are experiencing distress in life, and are not finding a way to fix it on his or her own, can feel confident EMDR therapy can help in finding relief.

ANGER ISSUES
Anger is an entirely normal, healthy emotion, which everyone experiences at one time or another. Anger can be a healthy emotion because it can warn us of threatening situations and danger, which leads to actions for self-preservation. When out of control, anger can become destructive and have devastating consequences.
A few of the consequences of anger are physical injury to yourself and others, legal problems, depression, isolation, and anxiety. Anger can also contribute to health problems, such as high blood pressure, headaches, heart problems, skin ailments, and digestive issues. The effects of anger can cause feelings of helplessness, guilt, and defeat. But you do not need to continue this vicious cycle.
Anger is a misunderstood emotion. Our knowledgeable therapists can help you understand the root of your anger, and how to change your life. It does not have to control you anymore.
