Alpha Program

 

Brandywine Counseling's Alpha Program treats patients with primary addictions other than heroin through professionally administered outpatient and intensive outpatient counseling. This comprehensive program is available to Delaware residents 18 years and older who are uninsured, or whose health insurance does not cover alcohol or substance abuse treatment.

The Alpha program is located at 2814 W. 2nd Street, Wilmington, with a satellite office in the Edgemoor Community Center at 500 Duncan Road, Suite 144. Hours are Monday-Thursday 7 am to 7pm and Friday 7 am to 3 pm.

 

5 Questions: Meet the Alpha Staff

Outpatient Counseling

  • Professionally administered counseling for individuals, their families or significant others, or groups that impact the client.

  • Initial screening and assessment identifies major areas of concern so that we may assist clients in these areas.

  • Variety of support groups treat substance abuse in specialized ways, so that clients may choose a group that best suits their needs.  Among these are life skills, relapse prevention, and gender-specific.

  • Our services work closely with Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other similar programs to help clients establish close ties with the self-help community.

 

 Intensive Outpatient Program

  • The Alpha IOP offers continued care for any patient aged 18 and over who requires mental and or substance abuse counseling in an intensive outpatient setting.

  • Intensive Outpatient services provide a higher level of care that helps these patients set and work toward their goals for recovery. They attend group counseling for 3 hours, 3 days a week, and also have increased individual counseling.

  • BCI staff selects appropriate candidates for the program based on consistent attendance, effort in previous treatment programs, medical approval, and compliance with other agency requirements.

  • Since its introduction in 2009, the IOP Program has helped several long-time drug users provide their first ever negative drug screen and achieve significant success in sobriety.

 

Mental Health

  • BCI has a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and a dual diagnosis counselor available.

  • Family therapy is provided by a certified family therapist.

  • Referrals are available to mental health service agencies for clients with a major psychiatric diagnosis or whose mental health is beyond the capability of conventional counseling.

Probation and Parole
