With a multidisciplinary team and a hospital-affiliated model, Directions Counseling Center connects clients to coordinated behavioral health and medical resources under one roof.
Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Counseling
The center focuses on outpatient counseling for adults and families navigating drug and alcohol addiction.
I found that licensed therapists, alongside a psychologist and psychiatric nurse practitioner deliver personalized care that can include medication management when appropriate.
Sessions blend approaches such as CBT and trauma-informed counseling to address underlying drivers of substance use.
Family sessions help loved ones rebuild connections and stronger support networks for continued recovery.
Family and Co-Occurring Mental Health Support
Beyond individual recovery, I noted that Directions Counseling Center offers programming for families, couples and children impacted by a loved one's substance use.
The team also supports co-occurring mental health conditions, helping clients of all ages build healthier coping skills and stronger family connections.
