Care Center DBA SPHS Care Center

Care Center offers two levels of outpatient addiction treatment: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). For people in recovery who need consistent clinical support without stepping away from work, family, or community, outpatient treatment can be the right long-term foundation. The IOP level provides more frequent contact for those in earlier or more complex phases of recovery, while the standard outpatient track supports ongoing stability and relapse prevention.

Operating Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the center builds its schedule around the realities its clients face. That accessibility is not incidental — it reflects a program designed for people maintaining real commitments while working on their recovery.

Substance use disorders rarely exist in isolation. Care Center explicitly treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, along with trauma and PTSD — conditions that are common among people seeking addiction treatment and that, when left unaddressed, can undermine long-term recovery. Treating these conditions alongside substance use is central to the center's clinical model.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the core of Care Center's therapeutic approach. CBT helps individuals understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — a framework that is particularly effective for people managing both addiction and underlying mental health challenges. For those building a recovery plan that accounts for the full picture of their wellbeing, this integrated focus is meaningful.

Care Center's population reach is broader than most outpatient programs. The center serves adolescents, young adults between 18 and 25, older adults and seniors, men, women, veterans, pregnant women, court-ordered individuals, people living with HIV/AIDS, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing. This breadth means that families with multiple members navigating recovery — or individuals with specific clinical and cultural needs — are less likely to be turned away.

For veterans managing service-related trauma alongside substance use, and for younger individuals in the early stages of building a sober life, Care Center's combination of targeted populations and co-occurring disorder treatment reflects a program aware of the diversity of recovery experiences.

Financial barriers are one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment. Care Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, covering a wide range of financial situations for individuals and families in the Butler, PA area.

Located at 1610 North Main Street Extension in Butler, the center is accessible to residents of Butler County seeking outpatient substance abuse treatment close to home. Being part of SPHS — an organization with deep roots in human services — means Care Center operates within a network oriented toward long-term community wellbeing, not just acute intervention.
