Charak Center for Health and Wellness

Charak Center for Health and Wellness – Midway Blvd is a mental health and substance abuse treatment center in Elyria, Ohio. The center focuses on using the latest therapies and treatments and keeping its services affordable for its clients. Clients are able to receive telehealth therapy if they’re unable to receive treatment in person. They also accept walk ins and have therapy available for individuals, couples and children. Payment can be made through any insurance, as they accept all of them. Chakra Center has several accreditations from reputable organizations including the Mental Health and Addiction Advocacy Coalition and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Charak Center features a large staff at the facility that ranges from board certified psychologists to chemical dependency counselors. The main addiction they specialize in treating clients for is opiate dependence. Through their intensive outpatient program (IOP), they provide treatment services such as diagnostic assessments, individual and group psychotherapy and psychotropic medication management. They help clients overcome any underlying mental health issues causing addiction, including PTSD and bipolar disorder. In addition to the services available for clients, the facility provides family night groups for family members who have struggled with the client’s addiction.

When providing medication assisted treatment for clients, Charak Center uses Suboxone to help minimize withdrawal symptoms. One reason this facility chooses this drug is because patients are unable to become addicted to it, and it prevents them from experiencing the effects of abusing other drugs.

Clients can also expect to participate in the aftercare group. This takes place twice a week for 10 weeks, then once a week for 10 weeks. Clients then complete treatment with maintenance therapy once a month for a minimum of 20 weeks.
