Defining Wellness Centers

Defining Wellness Centers (DWC) is a substance abuse treatment facility that can provide detox, counseling, therapy and access to aftercare resources through an inpatient setting to people struggling with addiction in Brandon, Mississippi. It is part of a larger network which includes an outpatient facility which is located in Ridgeland. DWC uses a variety of innovative therapies to help people understand what led to addiction and how to prevent it from occurring in the future.

A Safer Way to Detox

While some people can stop using drugs by going cold turkey or not using medical interventions, this may not be a smart idea for everyone. If you’ve been using drugs or alcohol for extended periods, abruptly stopping can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms and even health problems in some scenarios. DWC’s medical detox program leverages medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help you safely stop using substances.

By not experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, you’re more likely to stick with your sobriety goals instead of relapsing. This program can be used for anyone dealing with opioid, alcohol, or benzodiazepine addiction with most people spending seven to 10 days detoxing. The round the clock care provided in an inpatient setting lets you know that you’re not alone.

A Therapeutic Inpatient Experience

Detoxing isn’t the only service that DWC Brandon provides. Along with dual diagnosis treatment for underlying mental or medical conditions, you can expect to receive comprehensive therapy and counseling services. This is important to help you understand what led to your addiction in the first place so that you can avoid relapse.

Key therapies you can participate in include EMDR, DBT, CBT, psychotherapy, trauma informed counseling, art and music therapy, psychodrama and workshops to help you understand how your mind works. DWC works with most major insurance providers and TriCare.
