About Aurora Behavioral Health Services – Mount Pleasant
Aurora Behavioral Health Center is an outpatient behavioral health facility located in Racine, Wisconsin. The staff provides psychotherapy and psychiatric services to treat substance abuse. They provide treatment to individuals of all ages, as well as families and couples.
Mental health disorders and substance use disorders can often occur at the same time. The staff is experienced in treating both conditions. Mental health issues that the facility can help with include anxiety, grief and depression among others.
For both mental health and addiction recovery, the team here mostly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. CBT and DBT can teach individuals stress management techniques that can reduce mental health symptoms and make clients less likely to use substance use as a coping mechanism.
Your counselor can also help with family issues that may have been caused as a result of your addiction or that have contributed to your addiction. Counseling can reduce family conflict and teach your family ways they can support your recovery.
Psychiatric medicine may be an option to consider when talk therapy hasn’t been effective for your mental health symptoms. The psychiatrist on staff can prescribe medications that are designed to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses affecting your addiction recovery.
Aurora Behavioral Health Center is about a half hour away from Milwaukee. Outside of your treatment sessions, you can take time to relax by spending time lying in the sand at Bradford Beach or checking out the animals at the Milwaukee Zoo.
