About New Directions Counseling – Shelton
New Directions Counseling provides alcohol and drug rehab services for adults in Shelton, Washington. Their services are outpatient based, which means you don’t have to stay at the facility. They work with most commercial insurance plans and also accept Medicaid and Medicare. If you’re uninsured or don’t have the funds to pay for your care, they have funds available to help.
When you visit their office, you’ll meet directly with a state certified counselor to discuss your condition and review your recovery goals. Then, you’ll start going to counseling sessions, which can be on your own or in a group. They also hold educational classes that talk about issues relating to drugs and alcohol. If it seems like you might need a little more care, your counselor may refer you to an inpatient treatment facility.
One thing I like about this facility is that they offer several specialty programs for people who need extra help beyond standard counseling services. Some of their services include DUI evaluations, help with child custody cases, and a driver’s license reinstatement program.
While some former participants rank their time at this counseling center highly, others mention serious communication breakdowns with the staff members.
