Detailed Information

Comprehensive Addiction Treatment at Children’s Service Center of Wyoming Valley

The Children’s Service Center of Wyoming Valley, located in Wilkes-Barre, PA, provides vital and comprehensive addiction treatment services tailored to individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Recognizing that addiction is a complex disease affecting not only the individual but also their family and community, the center employs a holistic approach focused on sustained recovery and improved quality of life.

Personalized Care and Evidence-Based Therapies

A cornerstone of the treatment philosophy is the commitment to personalized care. Upon intake, each client undergoes a thorough assessment to determine the severity of their substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health issues, and specific personal circumstances. This evaluation allows the clinical team to develop an individualized treatment plan that maximizes the potential for success.

Treatment modalities utilized are primarily evidence-based, ensuring clients receive care rooted in scientific efficacy. These often include:

  • Individual Therapy (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – CBT)
  • Group Counseling and Psychoeducation
  • Family Therapy and Support Programs
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), where appropriate
  • Trauma-Informed Care

The integration of mental health services is crucial, as many individuals battling addiction also experience underlying mental health conditions. By addressing both issues simultaneously, the center offers a dual diagnosis approach designed for more stable and lasting recovery.

Commitment to Community and Long-Term Recovery

Located at 334 South Franklin Street, the center is deeply integrated into the local Wilkes-Barre community. This proximity allows for easier access to care and facilitates connections to essential community resources, which are vital for successful reintegration following intensive treatment.

Recovery is viewed as a journey, not a destination. Therefore, significant emphasis is placed on relapse prevention planning and aftercare support. Clinicians work closely with clients to build robust coping mechanisms, establish healthy support networks, and identify potential triggers. Ongoing aftercare services help clients transition back into daily life while maintaining accountability and continued growth.
