About Aurora Counseling Services Inc
Aurora Counseling Services provides outpatient addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs in Oklahoma City, specializing in dual diagnosis care for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions. Operating since 1980, this CARF-accredited recovery center offers specialized services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals seeking substance abuse treatment.
Aurora Counseling Services stands as Oklahoma City's specialized substance abuse treatment provider, uniquely serving the deaf and hard-of-hearing community alongside traditional populations. Since 1980, this CARF-accredited recovery center has delivered focused outpatient programs at their South Walker Avenue location, offering bilingual services in English and Portuguese to meet diverse community needs.
The center's outpatient program and intensive outpatient (IOP) services form the backbone of their addiction treatment approach. These structured programs allow individuals to maintain work, family, and community connections while receiving comprehensive substance abuse treatment. The intensive outpatient option provides more frequent sessions for those requiring additional support during their recovery journey.
Specializing in dual diagnosis treatment, Aurora Counseling addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach recognizes that lasting recovery often requires treating underlying psychological factors alongside addiction, creating a more complete foundation for long-term sobriety.
What sets Aurora Counseling apart is their accessibility focus, particularly for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who often face barriers in traditional treatment settings. The center accepts multiple insurance options including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance, plus offers financial assistance to ensure treatment remains accessible. Their weekday schedule accommodates working adults, while their specialized population services fill a critical gap in Oklahoma City's recovery community.
Outpatient Programs and Intensive Outpatient Treatment
Aurora Counseling Services delivers comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment through two primary levels of care: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services. These programs enable individuals to receive professional substance abuse treatment while maintaining their daily responsibilities and community connections.
The intensive outpatient program offers more frequent sessions for those requiring additional structure and support during early recovery or as a step-down from residential treatment. Both programs focus on building practical skills and coping strategies essential for long-term recovery success.
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health Integration
Recognizing the complex relationship between mental health and addiction, Aurora Counseling specializes in dual diagnosis treatment. This approach addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously, providing integrated care that treats the whole person.
Their dual diagnosis focus acknowledges that many individuals entering recovery struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges alongside their addiction. By treating both conditions together, the recovery center helps establish a stronger foundation for lasting sobriety and improved overall well-being.
Accessibility and Community-Focused Care
Aurora Counseling Services distinguishes itself through specialized services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, addressing a significant gap in accessible addiction treatment. This population often faces unique barriers when seeking substance abuse treatment, making Aurora's specialized approach particularly valuable to the recovery community.
The center also provides bilingual services in English and Portuguese, expanding access for diverse populations in Oklahoma City. Their comprehensive insurance acceptance, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance options, ensures financial barriers don't prevent individuals from accessing needed treatment.
CARF Accreditation and Quality Standards
Aurora Counseling Services maintains CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to meeting rigorous quality standards in addiction treatment. This accreditation requires ongoing evaluation of programs, staff qualifications, and treatment outcomes.
