THERAPY & COUNSELING

Support for your mental and emotional well-being through individual therapy and counseling. Telehealth options make it easier to receive care where you are comfortable.

MENTAL HEALTH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Work with an EIHC provider to determine whether medication may be part of your mental health treatment plan and receive ongoing support and monitoring.

SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment combines medication with counseling and behavioral support to help people experiencing substance use disorders work toward recovery.

ABOUT EIHC BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Supporting the mental health of our community.

Your mental health is an important part of your overall well-being. EIHC provides behavioral health services for children, teens, adults, and families as part of our integrated approach to healthcare.

Our behavioral health team provides care for a variety of mental health and substance use needs, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Trauma and trauma-related concerns
  • Grief and loss
  • Postpartum depression
  • Alcohol and substance use concerns
  • Individual therapy and counseling
  • Mental health medication management
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
  • Telehealth therapy

TELEHEALTH THERAPY

Care wherever you’re comfortable.

Many EIHC therapy appointments are available virtually. You may connect securely with your therapist from home or use a private space at an EIHC clinic for your virtual visit. Some services may require an initial in-person visit before transitioning to telehealth.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your care starts with you.

During your visits, your provider will work with you to understand your concerns, goals, and needs. Together, you’ll develop a care plan that may evolve over time. Behavioral health care is collaborative, and your provider will work alongside you as you move toward your goals.

MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT

Support for substance use recovery

 

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. EIHC works with community partners to provide coordinated treatment and recovery support.

What conditions can MAT treat?

Common conditions that MAT treats include opioid addiction, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use.

The treatment time varies from person to person, depending on their condition. There is no maximum recommended duration of treatment, and for some patients, treatment may continue indefinitely.

Medication alone is not sufficient. MAT is intended as a whole-patient approach for those with substance use disorder.  A patient can be on medication, but must also be involved in other counseling and recovery activities to complement the medication and achieve the best success to recovery.

While abstinence may work for some, MAT is an effective treatment option which is evidence-based and is often recommended as the first line of treatment for addiction.

Mary Boska is fabulous. I was referred here by a friend, who is a patient of hers. I couldn't be more pleased by the care I receive. She is very through and I feel she truly cares about my well being. She is definitely an asset to this clinic.
