As a division of the Community Health Service of Lamoille Valley, the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center (BHWC) can provide comprehensive, integrated care. While the BHWC can provide comprehensive substance abuse treatment alone, for individuals interested in having their primary care needs met as part of their substance abuse recovery, integrated services with our family practice offices in Stowe and Morrisville assures complete health care.
Services
Intensive Recovery Skills Program:
The IRSP offered at BHWC is an 8-week program, similar to an intensive outpatient program (IOP). IRSP is a type of treatment service and support program to enable people in recovery to continue their recovery therapies following successful detox. IRSP operates on a small scale and does not require the intensive residential or partial day services typically offered by the larger, more comprehensive treatment facilities. The IRSP is designed to accommodate the individual to be able to participate in their daily affairs, work, and family life.
IRSP allows the individual to start rebuilding their personal life by living at home and establishes a foundation for long term recovery support.
CRASH School (Drinking Drivers Rehabilitation Program):
This program is for individuals who have engaged in risky behavior with substance misuse while operating a motor vehicle. The CRASH program is informative and change oriented. The program philosophy is that people will make safety decisions if they have the opportunity and support needed to make change.
CRASH school offered ongoing as well CRASH screenings, intakes and exits.
