Westmoreland Community Action

About Westmoreland Community Action

For those in Greensburg, Pennsylvania who are struggling with a substance use disorder, Westmoreland Community Action provides vital resources and support. For families impacted by addiction, their Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program offers a non confrontational research based strategy.

You might learn from this program how much of an influence you can have on your loved one’s desire to change. You can discover practical ways to motivate your loved one to get help rather than depending on conventional techniques like tough love or confrontation. They aim to give you practical tools to create a supportive environment that motivates a person to reduce or quit drug use.

The major goals of their 12 session CRAFT support group are to improve communication skills, use positive reinforcement, establish rapport and solve problems. You will also learn how to identify patterns in substance use to decide when to intervene.

Their Recovery Employment Partnership program empowers individuals in recovery by increasing access to employment opportunities. This free program provides individualized case management to help overcome the logistical and social obstacles that people seeking recovery often face.

The services offered are customized for each client and may include help with interview preparation, communication and time management skills training, job retention tactics and resume and cover letter writing. To help participants make a smooth transition into the workforce, they also assist with work related costs like clothing and transportation.

Anyone living in Westmoreland or Fayette County who is 18 years of age or older and has a substance use disorder is eligible for this program. Referrals may be made by the person seeking treatment or by others.

Other Forms of Payment

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

I was staying at WCA's halfway house in Mount Pleasant with few issues for about two years. I would walk to the store to get an energy drink, but the neighbors had their dogs off leash and they were barking at me agressively. I asked them to remedy the situation. The next time I passed by to the store, the neighbor claimed that the sidewalk was his property and began harassing me. I went to the local police and they were no help. I told my housing manager about the issue, and she was angry with me about my behavior for some reason I still cannot understand. After that, my roomate told me that someone showed up on the porch with a bandana over his face claiming to belong to the Pagans' motorcycle gang, and he told me that they said if I ever double crossed them again that they were going to kill me. I am almost certain it was one of the neighbors or one of their friends. I didn't know what to do because both the police and housing manager blamed me for the problem and I was soon after evicted for "unrelated" reasons after this incident.
