Beal Counseling and Consulting Review
Beal Counseling and Consulting, located about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh in Somerset, Pennsylvania, offers addiction treatment for all ages. This facility serves individuals, couples and families in a private, outpatient setting, with care available for alcohol and substance abuse as well as mental health issues. Beal Counseling has innovative programs for adolescents, including a school-based outpatient option designed to provide help to those with uninvolved parents, a lack of transportation or other scheduling difficulties.
Treatment and Staff
After a comprehensive drug and alcohol assessment, the staff at Beal Counseling decides what type of treatment to offer each client; program specifics may vary depending on each person’s needs. Methods available include group and individual therapy, both relying primarily on a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) approach. Adult and adolescent substance abuse groups meet twice a week for 90 minutes each.
Beal Counseling also has a program called Teen-Intervene to assist at-risk adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19. Treatment includes cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviews and the stages-of-change theory; parents and guardians are encouraged to participate in the program as well.
School-based outpatient care is provided at each client’s school as an alternative, more convenient location than Beal Counseling’s main facility (and they are specially licensed to do so). School-based services are free for clients, as they are billed to the state’s Medical Assistance program.
Because Beal Counseling is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, it’s also an option for court-ordered attendees. All staff members are licensed by the state, and strictly follow state and federal regulations regarding medical record confidentiality. The staff includes social workers and psychologists.
Extras
With the goal of helping clients obtain and maintain a healthy lifestyle, Beal Counseling provides treatment for individuals, families and groups for a variety of mental health disorders as well. In addition to the CBT offered in their other tracks, this is accomplished through rational-emotive and play therapy. Still, there’s no psychiatrist on staff, so those with co-occurring disorders in need of medication will need to be referred to outside help.
In Summary
Beal Counseling and Consulting is an affordable outpatient program that can satisfy the requirements of court-ordered treatment. The emphasis is on treatment for adolescents, although adults are also welcome. There are a fair number of services offered here, with different therapeutic modalities that can be tailored to each individual’s needs, depending on their circumstances.
