Services
To provide individuals and families with the greatest level of support possible during their road to recovery from Substance Abuse. Contact Counseling was started in the late 1970's by Patricia Asheim as a DUI alcohol/drug assessment agency. After Pat retired in 1999, Bob Chambers took the helm. He has provided assessments at Contact Counseling since 2008.
The purpose of an assessment is to help determine if an individual has a substance use disorder. During the assessment, the counselor will discuss personal history, family, and relationship with alcohol and other drugs. The counselor will also work with you to determine an appropriate recommendation.
Chemical Dependency (drug addiction or alcoholism) is an illness that can be treated. Intervention is one of the most effective ways to move addicts towards recovery, it does not involve a severe and humiliating confrontation, but is a well organized, loving process. Steve Burger, BA SUDP works with family members to find the appropriate help for the individual.
This program is aimed at helping people who are in early recovery to learn to live a life of recovery. Participants learn how to live with others in a communal living space while integrating and learning recovery living skills. This type of living is called a Family Living Program and is helpful for those new to recovery or those who might want to make this part of a relapse prevention.
Steve Burger began working the addiction treatment field in 1989 and became fully qualified as a Chemical Dependency Professional in 1990. Over the course of his career he has worked as a counselor, interventionist and trainer in inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, hospitals, prisons and schools.

I have been impressed with Steve’s work; professionally, and personally. We worked together in the 1990’s, helping adolescent males who had Legal and Chemical Dependency issues. We have both also been involved with helping addicts overcome their addiction and many other problems in Russia. I am proud to be able to give Steve Burger a 5 Star review, Kevin McGillivary

Contact Counseling are professional, who really understand the disease of addiction and can help identify the best course of action. They can also provide the appropriate services (counseling) to help the struggling addict get honest and start the wonderful transformation of recovery. Steve changed my life, eternally grateful. Thank you!!!

In a day and age where finding the right services to get the help needed for those difficult struggles life throws at you, I found empathetic compassionate help through Contact Counseling. Opening up and discussing the struggles I was having wasn’t easy but I was ready for help and Steve at Contact Counseling made it a lot easier. I would highly recommend.

They have empathy and understanding of people who have substance abuse problems and they are respectful and kind. I highly recommend them if you need an assessment or counseling referral.

Bob was outstanding, and Gretchen and the rest of the staff were some of the most helpful people I've ever met. Even 3 years after my offense, they helped me walk through getting my Washington driving privileges back- even looking into aspects that I'd have overlooked for sure.
I never felt judged, shamed, or embarrassed- and the staff is a huge part of that. Thanks, Contact. I swear I'll never cast a shadow on your doorstep again.
