Connections Counseling

The Basics

Founded in 2002, Connections Counseling is a certified outpatient facility for alcohol and drug treatment, as well as mental health issues, in Madison, Wisconsin. It offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults and adolescents, as well as court evaluations, interventions and holistic treatment methods.

Treatment and Staff

The IOP consists of a combination of individual and group therapy; meeting three times a week in three-hour increments. Both morning and evening sessions are offfered. The program utilizes a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, such as CBT, as well as educational groups, family therapy, art therapy, experiential therapy—including yoga and meditation—and relapse prevention. For PTSD or similar trauma-related issues, EMDR is also available, as is support for clients with a dual diagnosis. Connections Counseling offers a separate IOP track , using all the same treatment methods, for adolescents. Both programs rely heavily on the Matrix Model and 12-step principles.

Staff includes psychiatrists, psychologists, CSACs, LPCs, MDs, LCSWs, LMFTs and Master’s-level counselors.

Extras

Early intervention and court-ordered drug and alcohol abuse assessments are offered, as are individual, group and family therapy on a standalone basis. Aftercare is offered in the form of tapered off outpatient treatment, usually involving a weekly group focusing on relapse prevention strategies.

Connections Counseling also has a specialized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) option for clients battling severe depression, as well as a partnered program through the University of Wisconsin that provides early intervention and marijuana and substance abuse education to college kids, focused mainly on harm-reduction strategies and healthier behaviors.

In Summary

Connections Counseling is a comprehensive IOP using many of the state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatment methods available; designed to accommodate both adults and adolescents. Offering flexible scheduling options, a highly-trained professional staff and many of the holistic modalities typically found only in residential programs, Connections Counseling continues to be valuable local resource and a strong choice for outpatient treatment.
