Drug and Alcohol Treatment at Berks Counseling Center in Reading
Berks Counseling Center in Reading treats drug and alcohol use with outpatient care and has done so for more than 40 years. The center offers intensive outpatient, group, family and individual counseling, and it supports and provides Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for people seeking treatment for opioid addiction. Therapists help clients develop immediate alternatives to drug and alcohol use and put together a long-term plan for full recovery, including relapse prevention.
Berks Counseling Center is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic and PA Integrated Community Wellness Center, so outpatient substance use treatment sits alongside case management, peer and family support, and primary care screening. Services are offered both in person and through video or phone sessions, and you can say which you prefer when you schedule an appointment. Care is also available at satellite locations, in home and in the community.
