Hello Ingrid,
What follows is a page off Care and Counseling Center of Georgia's website I thought might be helpful come Monday the day of my Probation Revocation Hearing:

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)for Addiction Recovery
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is provided in accordance with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) best practices for level 2.1, which emphasizes an integrated approach.
Program lengths are tailored to each person. This level of care is highly structured and is often recommended for persons who need more than individual counseling, or for those who are stepping down from an inpatient hospitalization program.
Assessments determine whether treatment is needed and the appropriate level of care. We use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention, and DBT skills.
Clinical Evaluation and Court Ordered Services
We offer DUI Clinical Evaluations, Alcohol/Drug Evaluations and Interventions. These assessments may be mandated through the court, state, and/or probation officer, suggested by a lawyer, or requested by family members. The evaluations are used as a tool to determine one’s need for treatment. After the evaluation, recommendations are given as to the level of care needed.
Outpatient Services (Level I)
This level of care ranges from 6 weeks to 12 months. Each person has an individualized plan that is frequently reviewed. Treatment is provided in accordance with American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 1 outpatient treatment standards. It may include one or more of the following services:
Individual Counseling includes an array of perspectives. One is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is a structured, goal-oriented, and focused approach to address the immediate problems faced by people who abuse alcohol or drugs. It is beneficial in helping clients recognize situations in which they are likely to use substances, find ways to avoid those situations, and cope more effectively with the situations, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is a form of brief therapy lasting 12–16 sessions. Other counseling modalities that explore deeper issues also are available and may be longer term.
Family therapy uses techniques to help the family with problem solving, communication, and coping skills. Substance abuse is a “family disease” – the negative behaviors of the family member who abuses drugs or alcohol creates confusion, pain, or poor interpersonal relationships. Short-term family therapy is a form of brief therapy and may be offered in 8-12 sessions.
Group therapy offers participants positive peer support, a reduction in isolation, skill-building, real-life examples of people in recovery, and help coping with substance abuse and other life problems. Groups may include persons overcoming various addictions, or may be geared to one specific addiction.
Psychoeducation is used to teach individuals and their families about mental health, substance abuse, anger, and other addictive issues. Psychoeducation may focus on helping persons understand the process of addiction and recovery, the biological aspects of addiction, and ways to prevent relapse.
Anger Management—Addictive substances may increase a person’s anger and destructive behaviors. Anger management often is an essential component in overcoming addiction. Anger management services are provided in individual and group formats.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training group is a skills-based group for adults and adolescents. DBT groups are helpful for those in recovery as participants learn skills to work through painful feelings without a substance, decrease addictive behaviors, get unstuck from emotional or behavioral patterns, learn to be present in the moment and participate fully in life, let go of shame and judgments of self and others, and utilize assertive communication.
Psychiatry offers support through medication management for those suffering from anxiety, depression, or other dual diagnoses.
Play Therapy—Children are often overlooked in the family struggling with addiction unless they are “acting out.” These behaviors are often associated with the core problems in the family. Other children internalize their emotions or behave in ways that attempt to minimize the impact of addiction problems. All children feel the pain of hurting families and can benefit from play therapy, where they can express emotions and learn coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) allows clients to explore their triggers. Resolving internal conflicts that trigger use is a vital part of the CCCG holistic approach to recovery.
Expressive Arts Therapy involves the use of creative arts as a form of non-verbal expression. The process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product. People can heal through use of imagination and forms of creative expression. No previous art experience is necessary.
Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment to increase tolerance of pain associated with withdrawal in motivated clients. The CCCG addiction team has a hypnotherapist to assist clients with pain management associated with withdrawal. Hypnotherapy also is effective with smoking cessation and appetite reduction.
All Addiction Team members are committed to providing the highest quality of care and are required to obtain a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education credits related to the addiction field each year. This ensures you will receive the latest and most effective services available.

P.S.
Erotomania is a type of delusional disorder where the affected person believes that another person is in love with him or her. This belief is usually applied to someone with higher status or a famous person, but can also be applied to a complete stranger. Erotomanic delusions often occur in patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, but can also occur during a manic episode in the context of bipolar I disorder. During an erotomanic delusion, the patient believes that a secret admirer is declaring his or her affection for the patient, often by special glances, signals, telepathy, or messages through the media. Usually the patient then returns the perceived affection by means of letters, phone calls, gifts, and visits to the unwitting recipient. Even though these advances are unexpected and often unwanted, any denial of affection by the object of this delusional love is dismissed by the patient as a ploy to conceal the forbidden love from the rest of the world.

It doesn't take much of an imagination seeing how our people of faith could all be categorized as a bunch of erotomaniacs!

Hello Carol,
This is James Avery, the defendant 1840 Mason Mill Road.
It's been a good while since the brief phone conversation between the two of us my failed attempt seeking CCCG's help facilitating some sort of reconciliation meetings between me, the neighbors once living in the house directly across the street from mine whom the patriarch George Robert Gary, Sr. MDiv, ThD also happened to be one of CCCG's counselors at the time, as well as with the "United" Methodist Church in general.
Well a lot has happened since this phone conversation cut short by you without any explanation given to me as to why you thought it "absurd" this attempt of mine at reconciliation with the Methodist Church in general? As this extremely brief phone conversation between the two of us cut short by you could technically be considered our very first consultation session together, I believe it fair of me judging your behavior/conduct ...unprofessional.
Well I'm just going forward to you an email having just receive from my probation supervisor Officer Davis that I'm hoping ... alone ... will be self explanatory as to what I'm seeking with CCCG?
And that you will reach out to me as to what it will take making this happen?
And soon!
Sincerely yours,
James E. Avery, D.V.M.

P.S. Once you are okay with one person dying for your sins so you may live, what's to stop you from being okay with the whole world dying for your sins so you may live? Where's the incentive for any of the rest behaving any less indifferent? Jesus was a code compliance problem! When you have two of the same thing, you only need but one! Praise be to THY GOOD LORD for HIS next door/ not so next door neighbors...BEATING YOU TO IT! Jesus had it easy! All he had to do was give everyone a hug! Two thousand years later, I'm having NEXTDOOR.COM having to deal with! GREAT! Don't like the neighborhood you currently are living, just go online and create one more to your liking! GREAT! JUST FUCKING GREAT!

Hello Ingrid,
Just exactly what am I supposed to be requesting when I go seeking this court ordered drug addiction evaluation/counseling. Exactly what is it that Judge McCoyd will need to be seeing or hearing upon our next code compliance hearing scheduled for October 17, 2017?
It's really unfair that I'm unable getting any hard copy confirmations of these hearings.
|
|
Also, Glenn Memorial UMC is refusing allowing me participating with their nine week book study involving race/racism. Exactly the type of mental activity I'm needing to involved with before we are able successfully helping me with my end of this drug addiction. The irony of all this!
Also, I've received from my sister copies of letters being sent to her by someone supposedly a neighbor of mine. And I'm finding interesting the part involving you Ingrid. By any chance are you discussing my case with Mary Hinkel? Mary Hinkel the one having informed you that I had been banned from NEXTDOOR.COM?
|
|
Should you take the time reading all within this NEXTDOOR.COM tread against my property started by Mary Hinkel, keep in mind everything in red had been deleted before eventually getting banned from NEXTDOOR.COM entirely. And then Mary Hinkel turns right around and does it again. That woman is the "TRAGEDY OF THE HUMANKIND!"
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Avery!
