Located along Wisconsin State Highway 50 in scenic Salem Lakes, this
outpatient center has delivered mental health and substance use counseling since 1991 for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Clinicians address anxiety, postpartum depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and LGBTQ+ support, with telehealth available when clinically appropriate and supported by the provider.
Clients receive clinically grounded care using evidence-based modalities such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). Treatment may involve weekly individual sessions and structured
group therapy lasting 60 to 90 minutes.
In addition to clinical services, clients gain access to peer support from certified specialists with lived experience in recovery. Targeted therapy groups further enhance care, including moral reconation therapy (MRT) for behavior change, gender identity support groups, and substance use groups that promote insight, coping skills, and motivation for recovery. These offerings strengthen progress by integrating professional guidance with meaningful peer connection.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Oakwood Clinical Associates Salem provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
