Aspirus Behavioral Health Clinic – Stevens Point – Prentice Street

Located in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, the Aspirus Behavioral Health Clinic, formerly the Ascension Behavioral Health Residential Treatment Center, offers outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment programs for all ages. They can address co occurring mental health and addiction disorders and connect you to inpatient treatment at the nearby Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital as well.

Aspirus can help with a wide range of issues and they also have specific programs for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They can treat eating disorders and pregnancy/birth related mental health concerns as well, which may coincide with substance use.

What makes Aspirus unique is that they have a wide variety of specialists. Not only can you access psychiatrists and therapists, they can connect you to occupational therapists, expressive therapists, nutritionists, and many other specialists who can help treat everything about your condition, rather than focusing narrowly on only stopping substance use. This whole person approach makes long term recovery much more likely.

This location doesn’t have crisis services — if you need immediate crisis help, they recommend that you go to your nearest Asprius emergency room. Since this facility is a member of the larger Asprius hospital network, you can also get medical care, treatment for HIV/Hep C if necessary, and other medical support that can make addiction recovery much easier.

Another thing that stands out is that Aspirus has a specific pain management clinic. This can help you overcome substance use that is related to chronic pain, which is how some opioid use disorders start. They can help reduce your pain while also prescribing safe medications that won’t lead to substance use issues.
