eGetgoing's mission is
to bring high quality, affordable and confidential treatment
to a much larger segment of the population, where and
when they need it.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates that
approximately 27 million Americans either use illicit
drugs or are heavy drinkers. Of these, approximately
16 million are currently in need of drug and alcohol
abuse treatment. Unfortunately, only 3 million are getting
the help they need. Alarmingly, many more individuals
are trying unsuccessfully to get help. In fact, approximately
5 million Americans contact traditional treatment centers
each year, and yet only 20 percent of those are admitted.
Why? Limited treatment center space, high cost, privacy
concerns and inconvenience each present significant
barriers to access.
That's why eGetgoing was developed -
to make high quality chemical dependency treatment
available to millions in need by eliminating these
barriers. Combining 20 years of traditional substance
abuse treatment experience with advanced telemedicine
and eLearning technologies, eGetgoing has developed an
affordable, private and convenient alternative that
makes online treatment not only an appealing new option,
but also a very effective one, bringing quality
treatment to a much larger segment of the
population.

A Natural Complement to Existing Drug Treatment Programs
eGetgoing does not displace traditional treatment. Instead,
its online delivery adds breadth and depth to the existing
continuum of chemical dependency care - both complementing
existing programs and serving as an alternative for those
who otherwise do not have access to treatment.
Traditional Treatment Practices Made Available to Millions
eGetgoing is the natural extension of a proven treatment
program. Its new and innovative online drug and alcohol
counseling and treatment approach has its roots in CRC
Health Corporation-a group of established residential and
outpatient substance abuse treatment programs that have
treated more than 250,000 people suffering from the disease
of drug addiction and alcoholism over the last 20 years.
This 20-year treatment history, combined with leadership
from nationally recognized substance abuse treatment experts,
serves as a powerful platform from which to launch online
drug and alcohol treatment and internet based counseling to
provide access to millions who otherwise would not receive
help. But more than a mere replication of what has been
offered traditionally in drug and alcohol rehabilitation
centers, eGetgoing’s online treatment program adds clinical
components that maximize opportunities for clients to work
one-on-one with a certified counselor, identify relapse
triggers, work through feelings and develop effective coping
strategies. The goal of eGetgoing’s online drug and alcohol
treatment program is for the addict or alcoholic to achieve
a life free from their addiction, and the bounds of substance
abuse and chemical dependency.
Interactive Group Online Counseling Sessions Led by
Experienced Counselors
With today’s advanced communication technologies, we are able
to provide clinically effective drug treatment via the
Internet. Unlike many online counseling-related websites,
eGetgoing’s approach is much more than reading text, dropping
in for a chat or merely exchanging e-mail. Instead, we offer
a supportive, personal and interactive drug treatment
experience through a unique fusion of live video and voice
technology that replicates traditional substance abuse
treatment and education environments.
Emulating a group session in a treatment facility setting,
clients are able to see (via real-time video) and hear (via
real-time audio) their eGetgoing drug rehabilitation
counselor, which allows each session to be tailored to the
needs of the group. Group members communicate with each other
and their substance abuse counselor verbally. Certified
counselors use dynamic visual aids, including slides and
white board illustrations to support interactive online
discussion.
Because group size is limited to approximately 10
participants, this modality ensures an intimate group drug
and alcohol treatment experience that is not always possible
in traditional substance abuse treatment environments.
Enhancing Traditional Drug Treatment Tools
Our clients’ experience is shaped both by the peers in their
own treatment group as well as by viewing video presentations
online during group counseling. The videos capture powerful
group interactions which serve as springboards for discussion
on a broad spectrum of substance abuse, feelings and related
issues. Much like a movie audience, clients identify with the
characters in the dramatizations and react to what’s going
on in their lives as it relates to their drug addiction or
alcoholism problems.
Completion of chemical dependency and self-esteem assessments
before and after group therapy sessions evaluate stress,
anxiety, mood, sobriety, 12-step program participation and
motivation towards recovery. Drug and alcohol counselors also
assign written homework relative to each group counseling
session and provide personalized feedback to the client via
e-mail.

Appropriate Clients:
eGetgoing online outpatient rehab is best suited for adults
who are evaluating their harmful substance use, have
completed residential treatment, day treatment, or have had
experience in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs and
need a step-down level or ongoing care. It presents the basic
considerations and examines individual substance abuse
decisions and behaviors. It can also be used as content and
to provide structure within a residential treatment program
delivered in a clinical setting. It identifies physical and
psychological aspects of addiction and barriers to recovery.
It helps to establish certain behavioral standards, relapse
triggers, identifies an individual’s related treatment goals,
and provides tools necessary to follow them through to their
successful recovery. eGetgoing is a comprehensive drug and
alcohol recovery program that works with adults not only to
help them recognize their substance abuse related issues and
that they must comply with certain standards and behaviors
related to their use of substances, but also to help them
embrace sobriety. Through a growing understanding of
themselves, adults learn how to maintain sobriety, manage
relapse triggers, find coping mechanisms to handle their
physical cravings, chemical cravings, relational and
environmental cues that will threaten their sobriety.
eGetgoing focuses on outpatient treatment, relapse
prevention, extended care, aftercare, and continues to
support long-term recovery. Re-entry into daily work and
family life, as well as dealing with threatening
environmental triggers each day is addressed. Pragmatic
