About Avenues To Wellness
Avenues to Wellness is a treatment center located in Roanoke, Virginia. They provide services to adults and veterans who are struggling with mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Services available here include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), outpatient counseling and psych evaluations. They accept private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE.
During the intake process, they will complete a clinical evaluation to determine what level of care is the most beneficial for you. They will also work with you to develop a treatment plan to help you achieve goals and areas you wish to work on. The Roanoke region has a thriving healthcare scene, and this facility is part of that growth. The city is also home to an array of outdoor activities, art galleries and historic attractions, with special events and festivals held throughout the year.
Their MAT program combines both medication and counseling. In the beginning stage of recovery, struggling with cravings and withdrawals can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. These prescriptions help alleviate those symptoms. A medical provider will continue to monitor you throughout your treatment. Spravato nasal spray is available, but there’s usually a waitlist.
Individual counseling allows you to discuss the challenges you are facing as well as the emotions you are experiencing. They will combine holistic techniques and therapies to equip you with the tools to manage day-to-day life.
Motivational interviewing (MI) is another one of the therapies they use here. This approach consists of answering open-ended questions and allowing you to develop problem-solving skills. Exercising this technique can help you regain control by changing your way of thinking in a positive way. Motivational interviewing can build resilience, boost self-confidence and increase self-awareness.
Group therapy gives you a chance to work with peers who are on the same journey as you and share similar experiences. This can help hold you accountable and provide ongoing support. Discussions can include creating a healthier lifestyle, ways to prevent relapses, tips to identify triggers, and ways to find resources that can help you in your recovery.
