- Addressing gender specific concerns regarding sexual identity and equality, self-esteem issues
- Assisting clients in stabilizing concurrent mental health symptoms that have contributed to their unhealthy substance use
- Goal setting and developing a comprehensive after care plan
- Referral to appropriate professionals or agencies for continued outpatient programming (e.g., trauma/PTSD counselling)
- Recommendations for continued recovery and aftercare planning
