WellStone

WellStone Behavioral Health, located in Huntsville, Alabama, specializes in substance abuse treatment for adults 19 years and older. Committed to providing the necessary support to overcome addiction, WellStone offers personalized care with staff working individually with each client. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and offer a sliding fee scale to ensure accessibility for all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay.

The outpatient substance abuse program at WellStone is designed to address mental health disorders such as substance addiction, depression, and bipolar conditions. Group sessions are held one night per week, with less frequent bi-monthly or monthly sessions available for patients with less severe addictions. For those needing more intensive support, referrals to an inpatient program in Cullman are available. Additionally, specialized programs are offered for teens, ensuring comprehensive care across all age groups.

WellStone encourages individuals to join their aftercare program for ongoing support after completing the initial phase of treatment. This program, aimed at maintaining sobriety, requires participants to meet one night each week, providing a continued support network and resources.

For children and adolescents up to 18 years old, services can be accessed through the Nova Center for Youth & Family. Customer Service Representatives conduct a telephone screening to schedule an assessment with a mental health professional, ensuring tailored support for younger clients.

WellStone Behavioral Health serves all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, offering services at discounted rates through a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. This commitment to accessibility ensures that everyone can receive the care they need.

In addition to substance abuse treatment, WellStone offers various community services, including the Courage for All Campaign, aimed at spreading awareness and fighting the opioid crisis. The campaign provides education and resources to help the community combat opioid-related deaths, which have been rising since 2013.

WellStone also provides Mental Health First Aid, an 8-hour course that teaches participants how to help someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. This training helps individuals identify, understand, and respond to signs of addictions and mental illnesses, promoting a more informed and supportive community.
