Ellen O’Brien Gaiser Center Inpatient Treatment Facility

Ellen O’Brien Gaiser Addiction Center - Outpatient Center in Butler, Pennsylvania, offers a flexible outpatient program that helps people stay sober while balancing work and daily life. They offer an outpatient program (OP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

The IOP is suitable if you need considerably more support to stop “using” than is available in the OP. You can expect at least nine hours of therapy sessions weekly. This is spread between three to four days. I really like that they offer both day and evening sessions. This makes it easy for you to receive treatment while maintaining your full time job or school routine.

They even offer telehealth options. This lets you receive addiction therapy right at home anytime or anywhere for that matter. This can be very convenient. You’ll first undergo an intake assessment or evaluation. This helps their clinical team create a personalized therapy plan that handles your main needs.

You’ll benefit from individual and group therapy that uses proven methods like motivational enhancement to help you move forward. This model boosts self confidence by focusing on what drives you to make changes. It helps you commit to recovery by connecting with what matters most to you. This makes the journey feel both personal and meaningful.

Group therapy enables you to interact and share experiences with others who are having the same challenges. You can build meaningful relationships from such interactions. You can also learn how to communicate better and solve problems. These are important skills that can help you maintain a sober lifestyle and prevent relapse.

They also offer family counseling to help you rebuild relationships and improve communication with the people you love. This can make your support network stronger which is key to staying on track in your recovery journey.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is part of this program as well. This technique uses meds alongside counseling to help you recover. It’s a great way to treat opioid dependence and alcoholism. The facility has many experts who can assist with medicaiton prescription and monitoring.

They also offer ongoing support and educational workshops that help prevent relapse. They can connect you to community resources like stable housing and employment opportunities after treatment. This can help your long term recovery efforts.
