News Summary

The A.I.M. Wellness Center, a new facility by Outer Cape Health Services, is set to open on September 27. Located in Wellfleet, it will provide year-round behavioral health and substance use counseling. The center aims to support individuals with dignity and respect, offering comprehensive services including innovative therapy approaches, workshops, and community collaboration—a vital resource in light of the ongoing opioid crisis.

A New Hope for Behavioral Health: The A.I.M. Wellness Center Opens Its Doors

In an exciting development for the community, Outer Cape Health Services (OCHS) is gearing up to launch a brand-new facility dedicated to supporting behavioral health and substance use counseling. The A.I.M. Wellness Center will officially open its doors on September 27, and you’re invited to join the celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the same day!

Location and Purpose

Nestled conveniently at 2700 Route 6 in Wellfleet, right next to the OCHS Wellfleet Pharmacy, this new center will be a beacon of hope for those seeking help. OCHS is committed to treating all individuals affected by substance use with dignity and respect, making the A.I.M. Wellness Center a crucial addition to the community.

Year-Round Services

Unlike temporary or seasonal support services, the A.I.M. Wellness Center will offer year-round, in-person counseling for both behavioral health and substance use issues. This means that help is always just a visit away for those in need, providing a stable support system in the community.

Funding and Support

The center is backed by a robust financial foundation thanks to federal and state grants and a generous contribution from the Association for Improved Medical Resources on the Outer Cape (A.I.M.). This funding ensures that the center can provide top-notch professional services and support for individuals navigating their challenges.

Facilities and Staff

Spanning 1,900 square feet, the facility is designed specifically with the needs of patients in mind. Licensed behavioral health professionals will staff the center, ensuring that individuals and families receive the support they deserve. Both individual and group counseling will be available for patients struggling with substance use disorders, providing multiple avenues for recovery.

Innovative Therapy Approaches

The A.I.M. Wellness Center is designed not just to offer traditional counseling but also to embrace a range of therapeutic methods. The center will provide workshops, yoga, and movement therapy to help individuals recover holistically. These innovative approaches support not only mental health but also physical and emotional well-being.

Complementary Services

This new center will complement the existing Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP) launched by OCHS in 2021. The SOAP program currently provides online counseling, therapy, and case management services, offering a wealth of resources for those on their recovery journey.

Community Collaboration

OCHS understands that recovery is a multi-faceted process. Hence, they are collaborating with partner agencies to provide additional community resources such as employment assistance, housing solutions, educational opportunities, and legal advice to support individuals in their recovery.

The Ongoing Need for Support

In light of the ongoing impact of the opioid crisis, the need for accessible and face-to-face counseling cannot be overstated. The A.I.M. Wellness Center aims to fill this critical gap in support for the Outer Cape community.

How to Access Services

If you or someone you know could benefit from the services offered at the A.I.M. Wellness Center, accessing help is straightforward. Patients can be referred by primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, or even through self-referral. Additionally, referrals from treatment facilities, court officers, and various community health organizations are also welcome.

Get Involved

Mark your calendars and join the community celebration at the A.I.M. Wellness Center opening. It’s a significant step forward in providing essential support for behavioral health and substance use counseling, proving that together, we can foster hope and healing in our community.
