About TW Ponessa and Associates Counseling Services
TW Ponessa and Associates Counseling Services is a behavioral health treatment center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Drug and alcohol addiction is one of the core issues they treat but they also have programs for other behavioral health issues like mental health and psychiatric care.
For clients who are detoxing in the early days of recovery this treatment center has medication assisted treatment or MAT. In MAT they use specialized medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol which lower your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Basically this is a way to reduce the physical addiction symptoms and they pair it with treatments for the mental addiction like individual therapy and group therapy including specialty groups for specific needs.
There are a few things to keep in mind about this treatment center. First of all it’s all outpatient care so they don’t have inpatient detox which you may need if you’re at risk for complications in your detox but the staff here can help you determine that. Second, their MAT is specifically for clients ages 18 and older with opioid use disorder so it doesn’t help with other drugs like cocaine or meth or alcohol.
Counseling is a great first step, and the center is conveniently next to Mayor Janice C. Stork Corridor Park if you need to unwind and clear your mind. You can also exercise at Buchanan Park a couple of blocks farther away.
While there are mixed reviews for this treatment center most clients are happy with their care here. Clients say that the staff are kind and compassionate and will help them feel comfortable including finding the right fit for their counselor. Clients largely say that the administration and billing staff are also helpful and efficient, so their visits typically go smoothly.
