Western Mental Health Center Inc.

Western Mental Health Center in Marshall, Minnesota is a non-profit organization specializing in mental health care, including chemical dependency and addiction treatment. Founded in 1958, they have decades of experience supporting adults with these kinds of issues regardless of gender, race or background. In terms of payment, they accept most insurance options. Sliding scale fees and adjusted fees based on income are also available to those eligible.

Alongside its various mental health programs and services, this center also provides short and long-term addiction treatment options for those struggling with substance abuse.

Clients begin by undergoing comprehensive assessments to establish where they’re at medically along with the severity of their addiction. From there they can access an outpatient treatment program that involves individual therapy with a licensed drug and alcohol counselor as well as group therapy sessions.

Group sessions focus on the consequences of addiction, and the impact they have on individuals as well as their loved ones. Discussion topics include how to build social and support networks, relapse prevention triggers and adapting to new patterns of thinking and behavior.

Alongside therapeutic support, medical support is also available in the form of withdrawal management and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services. As a clinically proven harm-reduction program, this additional service is ideal for individuals who might benefit from medication management services to support relapse triggers and withdrawal symptoms. This particular center is licensed to use FDA-approved Suboxone and naloxone for its MAT program.
