We Know The Need. We Want To Help!

At Springfield Wellness Center, our team of counselors strive to help patients learn how to permanently change destructive behavior patterns. Clients learn about the disease of addiction, work through emotional issues, and are taught how to avoid relapse. Mental and emotional health is paramount to sustained recovery.

Springfield Wellness Center counselor’s role is to:

• Provide unbiased emotional support for individuals going through treatment
• Conduct one-on-one therapy sessions to get to the root causes and conditions
• Develop a specialized plan for aftercare based on patient’s individual needs
• Help create an aftercare program based on care available in patient’s area
• When necessary, incorporate family members and/or friends in therapy
• We also offer continuing care outpatient counseling

Through our counselor’s empathy and patience, we create a safe environment for patients to openly communicate. This will help the counselor identify the underlying issues that may not be sustainable.

Our therapeutic team comprised of the Medical Director, Therapists, and Nurses work with patients to set goals which will improve the quality of their lives. Progress toward achieving these goals is monitored through contact and feedback. Together, as a team, we work toward positive outcomes for all patients.

At Springfield Wellness Center, we know that patients who come to us have already suffered varying degrees of psychological or physical trauma, and are therefore vulnerable. This is why we provide patient advocacy care to help our patients. Patient advocacy involves upholding the rights and interests of patients by looking after their interests and helping them in their decision-making process.  Our patient advocate also follows the patient after treatment to provide support.

Auricular Acupuncture is the combination of the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture and low-level laser technology (LLLT) used in the treatment of various illnesses and diseases experienced in our culture. There are hundreds of protocols approved by both the Chinese and Western systems of ear acupuncture that are proven safe and effective. LLLT may be useful in the treatment of anxiety and stress, weight management, smoking cessation, pain management, and insomnia.

Effective pain reduction can be achieved using LLLT. The unique pain reduction abilities of LLLT have been extensively researched and documented in numerous clinical studies and medical papers. The pain amelioration capabilities of LLLT are accomplished via the combination of local and systemic actions, using enzymatic, chemical and physical interventions.

Hypnotherapy is usually considered an aid to psychotherapy (counseling), rather than a treatment in itself. It helps with psychotherapy because it allows the mind to be hyper-focused while the body is relaxed. It allows people to explore painful thoughts, feelings and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. This approach uses the relaxed state to find the root cause of a disorder or symptom like a traumatic past event. Once the event is revealed, it can be addressed in counseling. Hypnotherapy can help some people change certain behaviors like smoking and nail-biting. It can help people change perceptions and sensations and is particularly useful in treating pain.

Guided imagery is a gentle but powerful technique that focuses and directs the imagination. Like hypnosis, the altered state is a state of relaxed focus, a kind of calm but energized alertness. Think of guided imagery as interactive visualization. It is particularly useful in treating PTSD.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment.  HBOT has been demonstrated in several clinical studies to enhance the body’s innate ability to repair and regenerate. It is used as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions.

Cold Laser treatment offers a non-intrusive option to acupuncture and surgery.  Cold lasers tend to be commonly utilized for treatment associated with acute and chronic joint pain, tendon strains, muscle strain, soft tissue injuries, tendonitis, arthritis, tennis elbow, back soreness, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

The Bridge Device fits discreetly behind the ear. University-based research studies indicate that the Bridge Device can effectively aid in the reduction of opioid withdrawal symptoms (sometimes in as little as 10 minutes) by sending gentle electrical impulses to areas of the brain and branches of nerves leading to the spinal cord via nerve endings found in and around the ear.
