Northwest Alabama Mental Health Center

Northwest Alabama Mental Health Center operates an outpatient addiction treatment facility in Winfield, Alabama. This program serves adolescents and adults, helping them recover from substance use disorder. The program incorporates medication assisted treatment as a core part of their services. This recovery solution uses medicine and counseling to treat substance use disorders.

In this medication assisted treatment technique, FDA approved medications like Suboxone are used to manage withdrawal symptoms. This enables the client to participate in group and individual counseling. This combined approach addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.

Their complete outpatient clinical services involve assessment, screening and emergency or crisis intervention. Clients participate in group and individual sessions to address the underlying causes of their substance use while building coping skills. They even provide case management services and therapy for co-occurring conditions. This helps clients suffering from addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Upon assessment, if their care team determines your condition requires detox and residential care, they’ll offer referral assistance.

The program also includes follow-up and aftercare services. This might involve referral to support groups like NA and connection to community resources.

Alcohol and drug education is provided upon request. This facilitates general education related to chemical dependency and recovery.

Their ancillary services include court-referred educational programs, anger management classes and domestic violence education programs. They also provide defensive driving classes using National Safety Council certified instructors and curricula. This promotes safe driving habits, prevents DUI reoffending and helps clients meet their legal requirements after offense.

They also provide support to agencies in developing drug-free workplace environments. This usually involves randomized Urine Drug Screening and an Employee Assistance Program.
