Unfortunately, we will not be holding our Parent's Workshop on February 24, 2007. It was to have taken place at Walker Elementary School, Crestview, FL. We hope to plan another in a few months. We would love to hear your ideas on seminars you would be interested in attending.
Opioid dependence is increasingly a problem in many communities. Furthermore, an estimated 20% or more of individuals interested in getting help for their dependence avoid seeking treatment because of the stigma attached to the condition and limited treatment availability.
A new law has been enacted which allows for office-based treatment of opioid dependence.
For this reason, Okaloosa NeuroPsychiatric Center has because trained in office-based treatment of opioid dependence and has begun offering this service to patients. Opioid-dependent patients often prefer office-based treatment because it allows for greater privacy than more traditional forms of care. In addition, because the medication used (buprenorphine) is available by prescription, office-based treatment is often more flexible and convenient than other treatments.
Our office is available for consultation and referrals. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss treatment services offered.
Okaloosa NeuroPsychiatric Center will be holding its first ever Parents Workshop, Saturday, February 24, 2007 from 9am to 1pm at Walker Elementary in Crestview, FL. Led by Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Angela Trawick and Behavioral Management Specialist, Lisa Lagrone, this workshop will address children's mental health disorders, behavioral problems, parenting skills, and family dynamics. The cost is $30 for individuals, $45 for couples and must be received by Tuesday, February 20, 2007. For more information, email Michaela at okaloosacenter@earthlink.net.
