Brandywine Counseling & Community Services

Brandywine Counseling vis a Delaware based organization that provides accessible, compassionate and effective care for people struggling with behavioral health issues, substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Integrated Treatment for Substance Use Disorders

BCCS is known for our integrated, evidence based treatment programs for substance use disorders. We offer services to meet each person’s reasons to seek treatment and needs, including medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol dependency, outpatient treatment and intensive outpatient.

MAT programs at BCCS combine medications such as methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings and promote recovery.

A Range of OP Offerings

The facility’s outpatient and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) allow individuals to get quality care while still meeting their daily responsibilities. Through individual therapy sessions, group counseling and support groups clients learn coping skills, increase self awareness and learn skills to manage cravings and avoid relapse.

Mental Health Services and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

Since many of those with substance use disorders have mental health challenges, BCCS offers specialized care for those with co-occurring disorders.

The center’s mental health services include individual therapy, psychiatric evaluations and group therapy for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and bipolar disorder.

BCCS’s dual diagnosis approach combines substance use treatment with mental health support, addressing both at the same time. This comprehensive approach improves patient outcomes by addressing underlying mental health issues that often drive substance use.

Clients work closely with licensed therapists, psychiatrists and counselors to develop individualized treatment plans to achieve emotional stability and recovery.

Harm Reduction and Preventative Programs

In addition to treatment services BCCS is committed to harm reduction and prevention efforts to create healthier, safer communities. The organization runs various harm reduction programs including syringe exchange services, overdose prevention education and access to Narcan, a life saving opioid overdose reversal medication.

These programs reduce the spread of infectious diseases, minimize the risk of overdose and provide a non-judgmental space for individuals to seek support.

BCCS also offers education and outreach programs to increase awareness about substance use risks, mental health stigma and addiction prevention strategies. Through community partnerships BCCS works with schools, workplaces and local agencies to promote prevention, reduce stigma and support individuals and families affected by addiction and mental health.

Support for Families and Loved Ones

Family involvement is a key part of the recovery process and BCCS offers programs and resources to support family members and loved ones.

Family therapy sessions help to rebuild trust, improve communication and educate on substance use and mental health disorders. These sessions allow families to understand their loved one’s struggles and learn how to support them in a way that promotes healing and long term recovery.

BCCS also offers family support groups, a safe space for family members to connect with others who are going through similar challenges. Through shared experiences and mutual support these groups provide valuable support, reducing the isolation and stress that often comes with addiction and mental health challenges.

Youth and Adolescent Programs in Delaware

BCCS knows the importance of early intervention especially when it comes to behavioral health issues among young people. The organization offers specialized programs for adolescents and young adults focusing on prevention, education and treatment.

These programs teach healthy decision making, coping skills and resilience building skills that are crucial for young people navigating mental health and substance use challenges.

Through partnerships with schools and community organizations BCCS reaches out to young people at risk and provides counseling, support and resources tailored to their needs.

Such efforts prevent substance use disorders and address mental health issues early on so young people can build a strong foundation for a healthy future.
