What makes Brevity Services Unique?
Advanced Education and Experience
Idaho state allows individuals with a bachelors degree and a substance abuse certification to provide assessments and treatment. At Brevity, we believe that individuals with addiction generally have complex histories, often experience physical and mental health difficulties, and that each individual's life story should be evaluated using clinical judgement and expertise. At Brevity, our clinicians have a masters degree, specialize in the field of addiction, and have additional training or certification regarding the the nuances of the legal system.
Quick appointment times
One thing that sets Brevity Treatment Services apart from other agencies is our ability to get clients seen quickly. Due to the nationwide provider shortage, some appointments are scheduled months out, which can increase an already stressful situation. At Brevity, we prioritize getting appointments set as quickly as possible to help facilitate legal and treatment needs. However, since we are a small agency, we also believe connecting clients to other providers who may better fit your needs is also sometimes in your best interest.
Telehealth services
Our services are completed 100% online. This decreases concerns regarding the need for transportation, geographic challenges, additional financial pressures, childcare needs, or other potential barriers. All services are HIPAA compliant.
Extended appointment times
We understand that appointments can be a significant barrier to one's work and personal life. As such, appointments outside of traditional work hours are often needed. To help accommodate this need, our clinicians provide weekend appointments to help minimize the impact on an individual's daily routine.
Benefit of assessment only agency
At Brevity Treatment Services, we only do assessments. We believe this not only allows us to specialize in what we do but also assures clients that if treatment is recommended, it's for clinical reasons without an ulterior motive on our side. Some agencies who do both assessments and treatment will refer clients back to themselves for treatment whether it is needed by the client or not. This may be done to help increase the agency's treatment numbers, increase the amount of money coming in, maintain workloads of employees, or other reasons. At Brevity, we adhere to ASAM requirements by recommending the least restrictive level of care and what we clinically believe is in the best interests of the client. This gives the client unbiased, professional services with no underlying motivation to refer for treatment.
