Not Sure Which Services to Choose?

The amount of services offered by substance abuse treatment centers / mental health treatment centers can be overwhelming at first. If you’re unsure about the care you’ll be needing, it can be a helpful starting point to call nearby facilities and ask about the availability of evidence-based treatments. Some of the most common and helpful treatments include individual and group counseling, medication treatments, and supportive services.

Medication treatments have been found most effective when used in conjunction with therapy and or counseling so it can be helpful to ask if the facility you are researching provides this approach as an option. Medication treatments are also prone to decreasing effectiveness over time. Supportive services can have a wide range of meanings. They range from helping patients find employment and housing to helping with physical health issues and ailments.
