Chalmers P. Wylie Ambulatory Care Center

Chalmers P. Wylie Veterans Outpatient Clinic treats veterans suffering from drug and alcohol addictions in the Columbus, Ohio, area. They’re also a dual diagnosis location. This means they can provide special care for anyone with co-occurring mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, and more.

If you need to detox first, they offer medication assisted treatment (MAT), which can include Suboxone or Vivitrol to help lessen potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms or cravings. Since they only offer outpatient services, those seeking inpatient care or round-the-clock service will need to look elsewhere for the level of care they need.

If you identify as a part of the LGBTQ+ community, they have services for you too, such as hormone therapy. They offer anger management, health maintenance, community support, and counseling.

Their counseling includes individual therapy, group therapy, and marriage or relationship counseling. Individual therapy lets you speak directly with a counselor who can assess your situation and help you find ways to improve it by listening to your story and giving you helpful feedback, coping strategies and trauma-informed care. They’ll also help you identify any triggers that may be causing you to relapse.

Group therapy lets you meet with fellow peers who can relate to your situation and teach you lessons through their own experiences. Many people make good friends during group therapy or find sponsors who can help them on their journey to sobriety. Relationship therapy is just what it sounds like as well, giving you the space to work on your relationship or marriage.
