Scranton Counseling Center: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment

The Scranton Counseling Center, located at 329 Cherry Street in Scranton, PA, offers a range of professional and confidential services dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome the challenges of substance use disorders. Understanding that recovery is a highly personal journey, the center focuses on creating individualized treatment plans designed to address the specific needs, circumstances, and recovery goals of each client. Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality care that supports long-term sobriety and improved mental wellness.

Integrated Treatment Approach

Our program utilizes an integrated approach, combining evidence-based practices to treat both the addiction and any co-occurring mental health issues (dual diagnosis). This holistic view acknowledges the complex nature of substance abuse and ensures all aspects of a person’s well-being are considered during the healing process. Treatment modalities often include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques.

Core Services Provided

We offer flexibility in care to meet clients at various stages of their recovery. The Scranton Counseling Center provides both intensive and standard outpatient programs, allowing clients to receive necessary clinical support while maintaining their daily responsibilities such as work or family commitments. Key services include:

  • Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions with licensed therapists to explore underlying issues and develop coping strategies.
  • Group Therapy: Structured sessions that foster peer support, shared experience, and the development of essential life skills.
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): When appropriate, the integration of FDA-approved medications combined with counseling to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.
  • Family Support Services: Education and counseling for family members affected by addiction.

Commitment to Community and Recovery

The Scranton Counseling Center is deeply committed to supporting the Scranton community. Our team of experienced clinicians, social workers, and counselors works collaboratively to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where true healing can begin. We emphasize relapse prevention planning and connection to community resources, equipping clients with the tools needed to sustain recovery well beyond their time in formal treatment.
