  "We certainly see an increase in some folks calling," said Eleanor C. Nealy, Director of Mental Health and Social Services at the Center, who has guided those with substance abuse issues, on and off, for 10 years."Family stuff gets stirred up whether you are connected with your family or not," she said.
  
  "Certainly, the crystal meth programs are going at a rapid pace," she added.
  ...
  "Sometimes, 12-step programs don't always work for everyone," said Nealy.First, a client must make an appointment for a one-on-one meeting.The counselor will determine what the client's needs may be and whether he or she may need individual counseling, group counseling, or both - "a commitment to abstinence."
  
  Recently revived at the Center is the "Come As You Are" group which meets once a week with roughly eight to 12 attendees who have concerns about drug or alcohol abuse.
  
  "It builds peer support and it's a harm reduction group," said Nealy.This particular program, she said, has been offered, on and off, over the last eight years.But, most important, said Nealy, is to "make sure you avoid competing pressures over the holiday."
  
  She added, "Pay attention to where you need to go."If a drug or alcohol-related event cannot be avoided, bring a supportive friend with you, or minimize the event.For those who have already confronted their substance abuse, she advises to stay connected regularly throughout the holidays.
  
  "Go to an extra meeting," she said.
