About B and D Behavioral Health Services – Durham
B and D Behavioral Health Services treats substance use issues for adults and adolescents in Durham, North Carolina. They have an intensive outpatient program that allows flexibility for those who want to continue working or attending school.
They have an office-based opioid treatment program that provides structure without needing inpatient care. This service includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to lessen withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings so guests are more comfortable during treatment.
It also includes therapy and medical services to ensure safety and address past traumas or other mental health conditions that frequently accompany substance use. They prescribe FDA-approved medicines, like Suboxone, combined with outpatient therapy.
Their treatment approach includes peer support to help guide and mentor you from the perspective of someone who has also had similar addiction challenges. The peers have been in recovery and can connect you to other resources for continued assistance.
Case management is also available to monitor your progress and help with outside tools or agencies, like housing, insurance, and transportation.
They have the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) that provides intervention and support for substance abuse. The goal is to address the unhealthy behaviors of adolescents who are using drugs or alcohol and help stop the cycle early. They encourage positive relationships with family and peers, along with engagement in social activities that are fun and don’t include substance use.
You’ll learn life skills training, relapse prevention, crisis planning, and disease management to help you have a firm discharge planning process before you leave treatment. Most guests are in treatment for 90 days.
