Located at 123 Hospital Drive, Directions Counseling Center offers a comprehensive and deeply personalized addiction treatment program designed to guide individuals toward sustainable sobriety and improved well-being. Recognizing that the path to recovery is unique for everyone, our approach blends evidence-based clinical practices with holistic support, creating a foundation for lasting change right here in Watertown, WI.

Our Philosophy on Recovery

We view addiction not as a moral failing but as a complex health condition requiring professional and empathetic intervention. Our core philosophy centers on empowering clients by addressing the root causes of substance use, developing robust coping mechanisms, and fostering a strong sense of community. We prioritize dual-diagnosis treatment, understanding that mental health often plays a significant role in addiction, ensuring clients receive fully integrated care for both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Core Treatment Components

The treatment plan at Directions Counseling Center is highly individualized, but typically incorporates a range of therapeutic modalities delivered by licensed professionals. These programs are structured to support clients at various stages of their recovery journey, whether they are stepping down from inpatient care or seeking initial outpatient support.

Therapeutic Modalities Offered:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focused on identifying and modifying problematic thought patterns and behaviors.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training: Used to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
  • Individual and Group Counseling: Providing one-on-one focused therapy and peer support environments.
  • Family Education and Therapy: Helping loved ones understand addiction and heal family dynamics.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: Equipping clients with practical strategies for maintaining long-term sobriety.

Structured Outpatient Care

We primarily offer structured outpatient services, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and standard Outpatient Programs (OP). These formats allow clients to receive high-quality clinical care while maintaining their professional, educational, and family commitments. The flexibility of our scheduling aims to minimize disruption to daily life while maximizing engagement in the recovery process.
