Exciting news is on the horizon for those in need of behavioral health and substance use counseling. On Friday, September 27, the A.I.M. Wellness Center will officially open its doors, and it’s all set to be a game changer for individuals seeking help in the community. The opening will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the same day, making it a significant occasion for everyone involved.
Location, Location, Location!
The A.I.M. Wellness Center will be conveniently located at 2700 Route 6, right next to the OCHS Wellfleet Pharmacy. Its prime location makes it easily accessible for those needing support.
Year-Round Support
This brand-new facility is committed to providing year-round in-person counseling services specifically focused on behavioral health and substance use. It’s a dedicated space where individuals can come for help, support, and understanding in a caring environment.
Focus on Dignity and Respect
The center is designed to cater to all individuals coping with substance use challenges, ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect. It’s all about creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can feel safe and accepted during their journey toward recovery.
Funding and Support
How is this fantastic facility coming to life? Well, it’s thanks to a mix of federal and state grants, alongside a generous contribution from the Association for Improved Medical Resources on the Outer Cape. This funding model highlights the community’s commitment to making high-quality health services available for all.
What’s Inside?
Spanning a generous 1,900 square feet, the A.I.M. Wellness Center will be staffed by seasoned and licensed behavioral health professionals. They will offer individual and group counseling specifically for patients dealing with substance use disorders. This comprehensive approach ensures that everyone finds the support they need in a way that works best for them.
Holistic Recovery Approaches
Behavioral Health Director Brianne Smith is particularly excited about the unique design of the center. It embraces a recovery-focused philosophy that integrates therapy with holistic approaches. Expect to find workshops, yoga sessions, and movement therapy being offered, creating a rounded experience that goes beyond traditional counseling.
Building on Existing Services
The A.I.M. Wellness Center doesn’t stand alone. It’s aimed to complement the already successful Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP), which OCHS has been operating since 2021. SOAP has provided valuable online counseling, therapy, and case management services, paving the way for this new physical location to enhance access to care.
Community Collaboration
Moreover, OCHS collaborates with various partner agencies to offer essential community resources like employment assistance, housing, education, and even legal advice. This collaboration underlines the holistic nature of care that A.I.M. Wellness Center aims to provide, effectively supporting all aspects of recovery.
The Ongoing Challenge of Substance Use
A Path to Referral
If you or someone you know is seeking recovery services, referrals to the OCHS recovery services can come from a variety of channels. Primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, and even self-referrals are all welcome. Additionally, referrals from treatment facilities, court officers, and other community health organizations can also guide individuals to the support they need. The A.I.M. Wellness Center is here to help in diverse and flexible ways.
As the countdown to the grand opening begins, the A.I.M. Wellness Center looks poised to become a cornerstone for behavioral health support, reinforcing the community’s commitment to recovery and healing. Mark your calendars for September 27, a day to celebrate new beginnings in health and wellness!
