About TW Ponessa and Associates Counseling Services
TW Ponessa and Associates Counseling Services is a behavioral healthcare organization serving adults, children, and families in the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, area. Outpatient (OP) services at this location include alcohol and drug rehab and mental health treatment, psychiatric care, and medication assisted treatment. School based therapy is an option for children who need treatment and attend local schools.
To treat substance abuse, they offer outpatient support groups, individual therapy, and co-occurring mental health treatment outpatient groups. In order to be admitted to any of the groups, you’ll need to have a diagnosis of a substance use disorder with a desire to learn about addiction and make some changes in your life. Generally, programs include at least one individual counseling session and two group sessions per week. Teens must be a minimum of 13 years old to participate in the substance abuse program.
In their medication assisted treatment (MAT) program, prescriptions like Vivitrol and Suboxone are used to reduce withdrawal symptoms and establish a foundation for recovery. Counseling sessions will help you navigate relapse prevention, criminal justice issues, and codependency.
Parent child interaction therapy can be used for children aged two through seven with behavioral and emotional disorders. If you want to participate in this type of therapy, you’d attend weekly sessions between 12 and 20 weeks. This therapy will help kids navigate severe temper tantrums and stop engaging in power struggles.
