BCCS's Alpha Program offers professionally administered outpatient and intensive outpatient behavioral health counseling. This comprehensive program is available to Delaware residents 18 years and older who are uninsured, or whose health insurance does not cover treatment.
Located in the Claymont Community Center, this satellite site of the Alpha Program offers both outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) drug and counseling services to Delaware residents age 18 and older.
Growing to meet the complex behavioral healthcare needs of our community, BCCS now offers professional services for adults who are experiencing mental health issues. Some of the services provided are short-term counseling and treatment for concerns such as, but not limited to, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), substance abuse and eating disorders.
A combination of medication delivery and symptom-monitoring care, the clinic provides comprehensive, readily available, high-quality medical services designed to achieve healthy outcomes. In partnership with Christiana Care Health System, the clinic also provides primary medical care to HIV positive customers, preventive primary medical care to those at risk of HIV, but not HIV positive, and prevention counseling.
Intensive Outpatient services provide a higher level of care that helps customers set and work toward their goals for recovery. They attend group therapy for three hours, three days a week, and also have increased individual counseling. BCCS staff selects appropriate candidates for the program based on consistent attendance, effort in previous treatment programs, medical approval, and compliance with other agency requirements.
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.
