Treatment Programs and Modalities
At ComWell Chester, the focus is placed heavily on evidence-based and holistic wellness techniques, ensuring clients receive high-quality care tailored to their specific needs. The clinic primarily operates as an outpatient facility, providing several levels of care to match the severity and requirements of the client’s condition. This structure allows clients to receive necessary treatment while maintaining their daily lives, work, or educational commitments.
Outpatient Services
The core of the treatment spectrum includes regular Outpatient Treatment and more rigorous Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). These programs incorporate a combination of individual psychotherapy, group sessions, and specialized treatments. The center is equipped to address a range of issues, including but not limited to alcohol and drug addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related burnout.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
ComWell recognizes the efficacy of MAT in treating opioid and alcohol dependence. The facility offers essential medication support, including buprenorphine maintenance and injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol). This pharmacological support is always delivered alongside counseling and therapy, optimizing the chances for long-term recovery by managing cravings and reducing the risk of relapse. For those who cannot physically attend sessions, telehealth options are available, ensuring continuity of care.
