Wellness Resource Center, throughout its history, has been designed to meet the specialized needs of adults, ages 18 and older, suffering with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health disorders. As a result, Wellness Resource Center offers specialized programming for individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder(s) and Spectrum disorder, formerly known as Asperger’s Disorder and high functioning Autism. It is our goal to work with the client, family, referrals and community to provide structured programming to assist these individuals through the continuum. Our programming focuses on teaching individuals social skills, coping and decision making skills and relapse prevention skills that are unique to this population. The skills programming is tailored to meet the individualized needs and functioning of the individual. Our program is rooted within the 12-step philosophy and utilizes the traditions to guide our clients through the recovery process. In addition to incorporating traditional therapeutic modalities, strategies are based on the understanding of the behavioral, nutritional, social and sensory processing factors impacting this population. Interventions are designed to effectively address these, minimize symptoms and increase daily functioning. The program also addresses the family’s journey in cultivating a healthy interdependent relationship with their young adult by balancing healthy support yet assisting the individuation process, specifically addressing the individual self- esteem and self-autonomy that is impacted with these individuals.
