Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Aftercare Support

After completion of treatment, the counselor will make referrals to community resources which include, but aren’t limited to Celebrate Recovery and other faith based initiatives, 12-step groups and other counseling services specializing in substance abuse services.

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction causes psychological and physical damage through repeated and uncontrollable use of substances. Drug rehab in West Virginia focuses on providing a full continuum of care, from detox to aftercare, and treatment can take place in outpatient or inpatient settings, based on your needs.

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

They work with the police and have so called patients in group that are actually undercover cops. They tend to play favorites and arbitrarily see some patients who came in later long before myself despite being ten minutes earlier. They split my medication up from my doctor appointment and when I asked if I came to a later counseling if I could get my whole week worth of meds told me no and were completely rude. Knowing they were going to do this had me do a review on their tablet before they broke this ridiculous unfair news to me. Most arrogant selectively rude place I wouldn't recommend to friends and family unless you want to be discriminated against bag randomly and mistreated for no apparent reason

Company values, what a joke, I had some great experiences with therapists who have been fired for the most part but the Dr's and practicioners have all been judgemental and condescending. They are selfish and treat everyone as less than human, we're just there for them to make as much profit as possible off of as possible and help their career.. This is why they have prescribed anti depressants and other meds in waves after pharmaceutical reps come by and strike deals to recommend their companies medications. This is the result of people who get into medicine for money, they don't care if you develop habits or have side effects so long as they're making something from it and they will defend pharma with vigor if you point out a fact or negative statistic and hold it against you, they're condescending because they're better than you, other than the therapists everyone treats you as less than if your an addict and talk to you like a child, assuming you will do illegal things if given the slightest opportunity, they hold everyone accountable to the worst patients just like someone wants to take your rights because someone who doesn't care about laws might do something and will not abide by laws so they make stronger laws to limit those who do no harm and continue to make it more harsh thinking that eventually with strong enough laws that the lawless will at some point start following the law. It's as ridiculous as any other addiction clinic, only there to profit from someone's misery and help themselves. If you have the option, go somewhere else.

I called Monday 9/13 to schedule an appointment to discuss ADHD medication. They make me an appointment for today, Thursday 9/16. I get there and find out that they can t prescribe stimulants so I agree to Strattera, a non-stimulant. Well imagine my surprise when I find out it s $250 for a month supply. I feel this was an extremely underhanded thing. Most non-stims can be super expensive because a lot are still under patent. I would have appreciated knowing this before I scheduled my appointment. Now I m going to have to wait an extra week to get started on a treatment because OVP didn t feel it was necessary to tell me that I d have to go elsewhere. Don t go here for ADHD treatment.
