About United Counseling Service
For those with substance use disorders in Bennington, Vermont, United Counseling Service of Bennington County provides a whole host of services that tie into community wellness and improved mental health. They have medication assisted treatment (MAT), syringe exchange programs, and harm reduction classes. This strategy seeks to promote long term recovery and lower the risk of overdosing.
Their MAT is a Vermont Blueprint for Health Spoke program that offers a comprehensive approach that incorporates behavioral therapies and counseling in addition to drugs like buprenorphine and methadone. Injectable Vivitrol or oral naltrexone may also be administered to certain patients. Specialized nursing, counseling and care management are provided by this team to help patients during their recuperation.
A variety of therapeutic techniques are used in addition to MAT to assist people in reducing or quitting substance abuse. Case management and group and individual therapy help people achieve better life outcomes. These initiatives are enhanced by their intensive outpatient program to address several factors at once. Healing modalities like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and wellness recovery action plan are all included in this program. Participants commit at least three hours every day or nine hours every week.
These programs promote a larger public awareness and inclusiveness so that clients watch out for their peers. They exchange syringes and give away free harm reduction kits so that you can be trained to respond if there’s an overdose. These kits come with two doses of Narcan, fentanyl test strips, a CPR mouth shield and additional supplies.
They even reach out to employee assistance programs so that your treatment won’t interfere with your job. Community programs, like equine assisted therapy and their CHESS eRecovery allow you to build networks so that you won’t feel isolated.
