The SIGHT program has two phases. Phase One is a 90 day jail intervention program. Completing the SIGHT program will depend on how responsible you are in following EPICs expectations and your weekly attendance. Phase Two is 16 weeks with 32 treatment sessions.

1. Intervention

• Before your release date, you and your counselor will complete a pre-group packet.
• You must report to EPIC Behavioral Healthcare within 48 hours of your release from jail. If for some reason you’re unable to report within that period, you must call EPIC and let them know.
• When you arrive at EPIC, let the front desk know that you’re in the SIGHT program. You will be assigned a Primary Counselor. Your  (one-to-one) Intake appointment with your primary counselor will be confirmed. You must keep your intake appointment or you will be out of compliance and denied services until your intake is complete.
• You will have a one-to-one with your counselor every 30 days. It is up to you to make sure that these meetings occur. Not having your one-to-one can extend the time you are in treatment.
• You will be expected to attend all groups while you are waiting for your one-to-one with your counselor.
• Cancellation / Late Policy: You must give EPIC 24 hour notice of your inability to attend an individual session. If you think you are going to be late to a group, you must notify either your primary counselor or the group counselor 30 minutes before your group is scheduled to begin. If allowed by the counselor, you can then be admitted until 5 minute past the group start time.

• Church attendance and documentation is allowed to count for 1 meeting per week. Provide information on the name of the church, when you attended, and something about the message of the day.
• Working with a sponsor will count as one attendance.
