About Positive Directions – The Center for Prevention and Counseling – Westport, Connecticut

Positive Directions – The Center for Prevention and Counseling is a behavioral health organization in Westport, Connecticut, that provides mental health and addiction recovery services for children, teens, and adults. They offer preventative support, counseling treatment, and aftercare on an outpatient basis. You can participate in their services in person or online.

One thing that strikes me about this facility is their three tier approach to recovery. They start with prevention, partnering with local organizations, civic groups, and academic institutions to train the community on the importance of mental health care and the dangers of substance abuse.

Second, they offer treatment for people who are already facing those struggles. If you’re dealing with chemical dependency or a co-occurring disorder, you can visit them to receive therapeutic counseling sessions. You can attend your sessions on your own or with your family. They’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your needs and will help you reach your recovery goals.

Finally, they focus on long term recovery. If you’re a client in their outpatient program, you can attend free recovery groups to help you stay sober and prevent a relapse. They also offer one on one peer support services for adolescents.

Clients call this team talented, professional, and compassionate. They also remark that the organization is an asset to the local community.
