About Aurora Behavioral Health Center – Neenah

Aurora Behavioral Health Center in Neenah, Wisconsin delivers targeted outpatient behavioral health services. They offer substance use recovery and treatment for common mental health issues like depression and anxiety. They also treat child & adolescent issues, eating disorders and dually diagnosed conditions.

They support couples, families and individuals of all ages leveraging their skilled staff to promote the general wellbeing of the community they serve. I believe the best thing about them is that you can access primary medical care, urgent care and family medicine alongside other medical services all in one location. This enhances convenience, continuity of care and better coordination between mental and physical health services.

I also like that most of their behavioral providers accept Medicaid and Medicare alongside numerous private health insurance. This keeps costs low and makes behavioral healthcare accessible to broader audiences. Another noteworthy thing is that they offer telehealth or virtual support. This lets you chat with a provider about your symptoms and receive diagnosis an treatment plans virtually through a secured videoconferencing platform. It’s a convenient way of receiving healthcare anytime and anywhere.

The experts at Aurora Behavioral Health Center make substance use recovery easy, convenient and less overwhelming. They adopt a tailored care approach to ensure the best therapeutic support and recovery outcomes. This is made possible via personalized care planning following detailed intake assessment including psychological evaluation.

Recovery may involve a combination of counseling, psychotherapy and psychiatric support depending on your care plans. Their substance use counseling may involve both group and individual sessions. This can help lay bare the root causes of your substance dependence while equipping you with practical skills to prevent relapse.

Group counseling is particularly beneficial as it enables you to practice essential life skills like managing anger/stress, healthy communication and problem solving in a nonjudgmental setting. These everyday skills foster sobriety and prevent relapse. Psychiatric care may involve assessment and medication prescription and management. This can form part of integrated care for people dealing with dually diagnosed substance use and mental disorders. It’s all about finding the right tools for your recovery and making sure you have the support to move forward.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
