About Connections Counseling – Madison
Connections Counseling specializes in outpatient addiction treatment for adults, families and young people in Madison, Wisconsin. They offer general outpatient (OP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs depending on the level of care you require.
They prioritize healing and constructive development by using a strengths-based strategy. For young college students who use alcohol and cannabis they employ the harm reduction strategy. This means that they look for patterns of use, provide helpful advice about safe usage and look into the reasons behind these behaviors.
To help clients with substance use disorders, particularly those who also have co-occurring conditions, their clinicians work closely with the legal system. Their family therapy sessions aim to improve communication, settle disputes and fortify family bonds. These one-on-one sessions focus on achieving goals as a family and resolving issues together.
With the supportive and safe environment that group therapy offers, people can talk about their experiences with substance use. They can also practice new coping techniques, build relationships and share knowledge with one another.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) that blends structured care with evidence based treatment is available. It is customized to match each client’s specific requirements as they move through the program. They also provide services for interventions. These are planned events attended by drug abusers, their loved ones and a trained interventionist who encourages the person to seek treatment.
Their team consists of skilled medical professionals including psychiatrists. They provide therapy in addition to writing prescriptions and managing drug orders. They also offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that has been proven a viable noninvasive treatment for disorders such as major depressive disorder, anxious depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.
