About Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services – Pittston
Known for its tomatoes and festivals, Pittston, Pennsylvania is also home to Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services. Since 1973, this private, nonprofit agency has provided outpatient substance use disorder prevention and treatment for adults. You can live at home and access comprehensive care to reach your recovery goals.
They offer intensive and standard programs with proven therapeutic interventions. You can participate in weekly sessions to gain essential recovery skills. You’ll benefit from counseling, relapse prevention training, self esteem building, peer support, and more. These programs are available at their Wilkes Barre and Kingston locations, within 20 minutes of Pittston.
What strikes me most is they offer gambling treatment. While often overlooked, gambling addiction can be just as harmful to overall wellness as drugs and alcohol. Also, substance use and problem gambling can occur together.
You can access compassionate care from certified professionals with expertise in outpatient gambling treatment. Even if you don’t have insurance you can participate in this program for free through Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs funding.
Another great feature I noticed was their DUI Services. If you’re facing an impaired driving offense, you can access a DUI assessment to determine the severity of your substance use and suitable interventions.
They also spread awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and driving under the influence with their S.O.B.E.R ceremonies. They use an overturned car in different locations to communicate these risks and potentially save lives.
Lastly, I think their family program is fantastic. They understand that addiction doesn’t just affect you, but also your loved ones. Your family can attend free, bi weekly support groups in Kingston. Your loved ones will benefit from learning more about addiction and recovery to support you and themselves throughout this journey.
