About Van Buren Community Mental Health – Paw Paw
Located in Paw Paw, Michigan, Van Buren Community Mental Health offers substance use disorder treatment and prevention services. The intensive outpatient program, group therapy, and early intervention are few of the treatment options available at this facility. Clients can pay for their treatment with Medicaid or Medicare.
Van Buren Community Mental Health has a substance abuse task force that promotes substance abuse prevention in Van Buren County. The team of volunteers focuses on identifying substance abuse concerns and developing community based strategies to address them. Assistance in Spanish is readily available.
They also provide education to help you know how to prevent addiction in their own lives. A few ways the task force has helped the community include providing safe disposal of unused substances and reminding parents to keep alcohol away from minors during graduation and prom season.
The facility strives to reduce recidivism among chemically dependent offenders through the New Direction Program. Clients participate in weekly individual and group counseling sessions for a minimum of 12 months where they’ll learn more about addiction and how they can prevent themselves from relapsing. You’ll be required to submit to random drug testing to help keep you accountable to your treatment goals.
When you need to relax after a stressful day or one of your treatment sessions, a nice place in town you can go is Maple Island. The park has a barbecue grill and picnic tables where you can have a meal while you enjoy the sight of the Maple Lake.
