Core Treatment Services in Parkersburg, WV
SJRC offers a full continuum of care, backed by CARF accreditation, to meet patients where they are on their recovery journey.
1. Detox & Withdrawal Management
Our medically supervised detox program supports you through withdrawal in a safe environment. Under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team—including medical staff, therapists, case managers, and peer recovery specialists—you’ll be supported every step of the way. This is your first step toward stabilization and healing.
2. Residential Treatment
Our residential program is for adults 18 and up who are facing moderate to severe substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions (such as depression, anxiety, PTSD). In this immersive, structured environment, you’ll receive daily therapeutic interventions, psychiatric oversight, peer support, and discharge planning to set you up for long-term recovery success.
3. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
If you don’t require 24/7 care—or when transitioning out of residential—we offer IOP options. These are structured daytime or evening sessions (for example, 9 AM–12 PM or 3 PM–6 PM) held multiple days per week. IOP includes group therapy, individual counseling, relapse prevention education, and skill-building to help you apply recovery tools in real life.
4. Outpatient & Mobile Services
For those needing flexible scheduling or who reside farther away, SJRC’s Parkersburg location offers:
-
Standard outpatient counseling for individuals integrating treatment into their daily lives
-
Mobile services that travel to neighboring counties, delivering medication-assisted treatment (MAT), psychiatric assessment, therapy, peer support, and telehealth options to reduce barriers to care
5. Specialized/Complementary Therapies
We also provide specialized options to enhance treatment:
-
Equine Therapy — utilizing therapeutic work with horses to foster emotional awareness, responsibility, trust, and social reconnection
-
Veteran PTSD Program — a dedicated track for veterans facing PTSD or other co-occurring mental health disorders, aligning care with VA networks when applicable
