Anger Management
BCCS offers a one day Anger Management Course in English and Spanish. Participants gain the skills needed to better understand their anger, and to effectively manage and cope with intense emotions. This eight hour class meets court ordered requirements. It is open to any Brandywine customer as well as the public.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Prevention
Our FASD educational presentations provide knowledge and increased awareness on how alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and addiction, affects not only the mothers' bodies, but those of their offspring. The effects that FASD can have on an infant include physical, behavioral, mental and or other learning disabilities with life long implications.
Lighthouse Program
Substance abuse and mental health treatment is administered in a residential community for women over the age of 18 with up to two (2) children under 8 years old using Evidence Based Practices. In addition to on-site licensed day care services, mothers receive individual and group therapy, life skills, computer classes, GED, trauma work and evidence based parenting classes. Case managers assist women with job placement and housing during final phases of care.
Outreach HIV and HCV Prevention Education
The Outreach program is educational intervention conducted by peer educators face-to-face with at-risk people in their neighborhoods or community gathering places. Our outreach team engages people who would otherwise not seek treatment or education and assist them in identifying and accessing needed services. BCCS provides HCV testing, HIV testing and pregnancy screening.
Pregnant and Parenting Women’s Program
The Perinatal program is for women facing addiction who are either pregnant, new mothers or mothers of young children. We offer: full case management, parenting guidance, education/job training, help with pre-and post-natal care, childcare and housing.
Probation & Parole
BCCS assessors provide services to individuals referred through Delaware Probation and Parole at two locations in New Castle: 26 Parkway Circle, and 314 Cherry Lane. Our ASI approved assessors administer the Addiction Severity Index and the ASAM Customer Placement Criteria to determine the appropriate level of care. A referral is made to the appropriate treatment program and the customer is assisted in entering the recommended level of care. Weekly drug education groups take place using a prescribed curriculum.
SENTAC/Plummer Center
The SENTAC program provides alcohol and drug evaluation, education and/or treatment for Webb Center and Plummer Center work release clients both during and after release. Individual sessions as well as a series of 12 educational groups are offered.
TASC/Drug Diversion
First time offenders may choose to participate in this program in order to resolve a drug charge that may otherwise result in a conviction, loss of driver’s license, and a sentence or probation. A customer graduates from the program after meeting all required criteria, including attendance and participation, completion of goals, consecutive negative urinalysis reports, and avoidance of all criminal activity.
