About WellLife Network
WellLife Network is a community based behavioral healthcare provider in Smithtown, New York. Their services cut across mental healthcare, developmental disabilities and outpatient drug/alcohol addiction treatment.
Their addiction recovery program serves adults affected by substance use disorders. They may also address co-occurring disorders. This is when you’re simultaneously affected by substance use and mental health disorders.
Specialized services are available for adolescents and young adults. This may include in-school substance abuse counseling and prevention initiatives. This facility also provides opioid overdose prevention, gambling disorders treatment and DWI/DUI services. The latter serves judicially involved individuals. Their programs are LGBTQ responsive and they even offer LGBTQ services.
They support same-day appointments and walk-in express care. It’s also financially beneficial that they support Medicaid and Medicare. Their substance use treatment starts with comprehensive assessment /screening and individualized treatment planning. This is followed by outpatient therapy and aftercare support.
The program is rooted in evidence based practices including motivational interviewing, stages of change theory and trauma informed care. This is delivered via individual and group therapy. The goal is to help you address negative behavioral patterns that trigger drug/alcohol use and build a solid coping mechanism against that. You’ll learn relevant life skills like communication, healthy relationships and stress/anger management. These essential skills foster relapse prevention and facilitate lasting recovery.
You’ll also receive medication assisted treatment, or MAT, if relevant to your recovery process. This will typically be the case if you’re struggling with addiction to opioids, alcohol or stimulants/benzos. The technique uses FDA/approved medicines and counseling to support recovery. The facility uses primarily Suboxone and Vivitrol for this purpose.
They may use these medications for ancillary withdrawal induction to minimize withdrawal symptoms if standard detox doesn’t provide adequate stabilization. Their co-occurring disorder services include psychiatric assessment/evaluation and psychotropic medication management. This is in addition to the addiction therapy. Aftercare services may involve referral to peer support groups like AA/NA for ongoing support. They may also connect you to community resources like medical care, housing and employment opportunities.
