About Dover Behavioral Health System – Dover
Dover Behavioral Health Systems offers inpatient and outpatient substance use disorder treatment in Dover, Delaware. The facility offers detox services, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs. You can pay for your services through Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurance plans.
Dover Behavioral Health System provides detox to help active duty military members and veterans. You’ll work with a psychiatrist led team led by nurses, activity therapists, and alcohol and drug counselors.
The treatment will include dietary counseling, activity therapy, and spirituality therapy. Your therapy will likely focus on addressing common issues that cause military services members to develop addictions, such as post traumatic stress disorder.
Medications are administered to you to manage your withdrawal symptoms when necessary. Detox can also be provided to your family members.
When providing recovery services for addiction, the facility puts an emphasis on treating co-occurring disorders. Your psychiatrist can see if your mental illnesses are severe enough to where medications may be needed. By treating issues such as anxiety or depression, you may feel less need to use substances as a means of coping.
In addition to medication, other treatment options utilized include art therapy and skills training. Art therapy provides you an outlet to express your emotions and also reduce your stress levels.
One thing I like about this facility’s location is that it’s not far from Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. It has various trails that you can hike to enjoy some exercise and relieve some stress in between your treatment sessions. It also has an observation tower that can be great for bird watching.
