Check out the type of services we offer below: Mental Health ServicesMental health and Employee Assistance Program counseling are offered for individuals, couples, and families. Our qualified and compassionate counselors bring clinical experience to the treatment setting and are available to help you begin to explore healthy ways to cope with specific concerns. If more structured treatment is needed, we can assist with referrals to other facilities that provide partial or inpatient services for clients with mental health diagnoses. Employee Assistance Program services are available at The Lancaster Freedom Center. We value the positive relationships developed with area employers and work toward opening up lines of communication with them about your progress in treatment. Many companies offer the opportunity to attend several counseling sessions to help determine ways to cope with life issues negatively impacting both job performance and the work environment. Refer to your employer’s human resources department for more information on how to access outpatient counseling services with our agency. Substance Use ServicesSubstance use counseling includes individual therapy sessions and/or groups. In order to keep pace with current trends in chemical dependency treatment and be able to provide a wider-range of therapy options, we have several outpatient group formats. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) The intensive outpatient program takes place Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:00-8:30pm. All sessions include a psychoeducational component, as well as a group therapy component. Individual therapy sessions are typically scheduled on a weekly basis. Clients appropriate for this program include those for whom weekly outpatient sessions are not sufficient to address the current level of use, but for whom residential treatment is not indicated. Intensive Outpatient Program Description The Lancaster Freedom Center currently offers a flexible three-phase program for treatment of alcoholism, substance abuse, and mental health concerns:
Outpatient GroupsEarly Recovery Group: 1st and 3rd Tuesday 6-7:30pm For people who have completed a treatment experience either at The Lancaster Freedom Center or another facility and who are dealing with the issues of living a substance-free lifestyle.
