Awakenings Counseling Center

Awakenings Counseling Center delivers structured outpatient program and intensive outpatient services designed for individuals committed to long-term recovery goals. The standard outpatient program provides ongoing substance abuse treatment for clients who have completed detox or residential treatment phases, while the intensive outpatient (IOP) option offers more frequent sessions for those requiring additional recovery support without inpatient care.

Both levels of care integrate addiction treatment with mental health services, addressing co-occurring disorders that often complicate the recovery process. The center's approach recognizes that sustainable recovery requires treating underlying anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders. This dual-diagnosis focus makes Awakenings particularly valuable for clients seeking comprehensive aftercare following residential treatment programs.

The recovery center's clinical team utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to address diverse client needs. Owner and therapist Kim Harman leads a staff of licensed addiction counselors and mental health professionals who adapt these therapeutic methods based on individual recovery goals and treatment history.

CBT forms the foundation of many treatment plans, helping clients identify triggers and develop practical coping strategies for maintaining sobriety. Solution-focused therapy complements this by concentrating on clients' existing strengths and resources, while compassion-focused approaches address shame and self-criticism that frequently undermine recovery efforts. This combination of therapeutic methods creates a robust framework for addressing both immediate challenges and long-term recovery sustainability.

Awakenings serves a broad recovery community including adolescents, young adults, seniors, veterans, and pregnant women requiring specialized addiction treatment approaches. The center maintains dedicated programs for trauma and PTSD clients, recognizing the complex relationship between traumatic experiences and substance use disorders. Court-ordered clients and federal pre-trial participants also receive structured treatment that meets legal requirements while fostering genuine recovery engagement.

Family and couples therapy programs extend treatment beyond individual clients to address relationship dynamics that impact recovery outcomes. The center provides HIV/AIDS support services, demonstrating its commitment to serving marginalized populations who may face additional barriers to accessing quality addiction treatment. This comprehensive approach to population-specific care strengthens the broader recovery community by ensuring diverse needs are met within one treatment setting.

The recovery center accepts PPO insurance plans from Aetna, United Health Care, UMR, and Optum, along with Health Savings Account (HSA) payments and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefits. Awakenings does not accept HMO plans, Medicaid, or Medicare, focusing instead on private insurance and self-pay options that allow for greater treatment flexibility and longer-term therapeutic relationships.

Sliding scale payment options ensure that cost barriers do not prevent access to quality addiction treatment and mental health services. This financial flexibility particularly benefits young adults, families, and individuals in early recovery who may lack comprehensive insurance coverage but require ongoing outpatient support to maintain their sobriety and mental health stability.
