About A.V.Y Counseling Services – Orem
A.V.Y. Counseling Services is a mental and behavioral health clinic in Orem, Utah. Here, people grappling with substance use and dual diagnoses can receive general outpatient (GOP) services including assessments, individual and group counseling and educational courses most of which are available via telehealth. The facility is certified by the Justice Resource Institute (JRI) indicating they meet a higher standard of behavioral health care and community service.
In addition to addiction treatment, this facility offers a broad spectrum of services to support people with mental health struggles and other challenges such as relationship or family issues. Addiction is sometimes called a “family disease” because it affects the person with the disorder as well as those around them. Having access to individual, couple and family counseling from the same provider may be helpful if that resonates with you.
Another feature I like is that they have several therapy groups for specific populations. For instance, people who have endured domestic violence may appreciate that this facility offers group therapy sessions specifically for survivors. There are separate groups for men and women to ensure participants feel comfortable and safe. There’s also a group for veterans, and one of the staff counselors is a USAF vet.
Their educational courses are another highlight. The center offers several including some that are focused on anger management, thinking errors, anti-theft and parenting. There are also Prime for Life and Prime Solutions classes designed to help people understand why substance use habits develop, motivate them to change and give them the tools to make healthier choices. People who are in the earlier stages of substance misuse, including those who have been cited for intoxicated driving, may benefit from the Prime for Life and Prime Solutions classes.
One of the center’s staff counselors is bilingual in Spanish and English while another speaks fluent Spanish, English and Brazilian Portuguese. Some of the center’s classes are available in Spanish and English as are counseling sessions.
