Recognizing the complex nature of substance use disorders, this facility offers an integrated approach designed to address both the physical dependence and the underlying mental health issues that often contribute to addiction.

Core Treatment Philosophy and Offerings
Our program is rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring that every patient receives care validated by clinical research. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care, which may include individual counseling, group therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is a vital component for many patients, utilizing approved medications alongside behavioral therapies to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, significantly increasing the chances of successful recovery. We emphasize personalized treatment plans, understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for treating addiction.
Behavioral and Counseling Services
The therapeutic environment at the Randolph County Office supports recovery through various modalities. Individual counseling provides a private space for exploring personal triggers, trauma, and developing robust coping mechanisms. Group therapy sessions foster peer support and accountability, crucial elements in the recovery process. These groups often cover topics such as relapse prevention, stress management, and healthy communication. Furthermore, the center prioritizes continuity of care, offering case management to help clients navigate external resources like housing, employment, and legal services, establishing a stable foundation for life after intensive treatment.
Services available through the adult program include:
- Comprehensive Substance Use Assessments
- Individual and Group Behavioral Therapy
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services
- Integrated Mental Health Services
- Relapse Prevention Planning
