Oswald Counseling Associates

Oswald Counseling Associates specializes exclusively in outpatient substance abuse treatment for adolescents, providing age-appropriate recovery programs that address the unique challenges facing teens with addiction. The center's focused approach recognizes that adolescent addiction requires different treatment strategies than adult programs, incorporating developmental considerations into their recovery framework.

Their outpatient program structure allows young clients to remain connected to family support systems and continue educational commitments while receiving intensive addiction treatment. This model supports the recovery community principle that maintaining healthy connections strengthens long-term sobriety outcomes for teens transitioning into adult independence.

The facility provides integrated dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance abuse and co-occurring mental health conditions in adolescent clients. This comprehensive approach recognizes that many teens struggling with addiction also face underlying mental health challenges that require simultaneous treatment for effective recovery outcomes.

By combining addiction treatment with mental health services, Oswald Counseling Associates offers a more complete treatment approach that addresses root causes rather than just addiction symptoms. This integrated model supports better long-term recovery outcomes and prepares teens for sustained participation in the broader recovery community.

Lynne Oswald leads the clinical team with dual credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). This combination provides specialized expertise in both addiction treatment and the broader psychosocial factors affecting adolescent development and recovery.

The clinical leadership's specialized training in substance abuse counseling ensures that treatment approaches are grounded in addiction-specific best practices while incorporating the developmental understanding necessary for effective adolescent care within the recovery community framework.

Located in Plover and serving the Portage County area, Oswald Counseling Associates provides accessible adolescent addiction treatment for local families. Their community-based approach allows for better coordination with local schools, family support systems, and other community resources that play important roles in teen recovery.

The center's focused service area enables them to develop strong relationships within the local recovery community and maintain ongoing connections with families throughout their teens' recovery journey. This localized approach supports the aftercare and community integration that are essential for sustained adolescent recovery outcomes.
