Services
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
The medical staff at Glenwood Life Counseling Center are licensed and trained addictions professionals who carefully evaluate and monitor each patient at GLCC for the use of medication, such as methadone. Methadone will support a person’s long term recovery by eliminating the sickness and cravings generally associated with narcotic addition.
Medication coupled with counseling, peer support, and case management will help to ensure recovery from the disease of addiction.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program serves individuals who continue to struggle with drug abuse despite their involvement in Medication Assisted Treatment and weekly counseling. Glenwood uses "evidence based practices" in group and individual counseling, as well as "drug free" social activities, to help these individuals move to recovery. Participants are offered the opportunity to meet 3 or 4 days per week while experiencing the support and encouragement of their peers and professional substance use disorder counselors.

Individual Counseling
Glenwood Life provides expert one on one counseling. Each patient at GLCC is assigned a primary counselor who is responsible for ensuring that you have the counseling, support, and resources necessary for your recovery.
Although medication will help with your physical withdrawal symptoms, counseling is where you will learn how to make changes in your life that will move you to recovery.

Group Treatment
Addiction and mental illness can be isolating and lonely diseases. Even in recovery, the process of establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships can be difficult.
Group treatment at Glenwood Life Counseling Center can offer the support, camaraderie, knowledge, and wisdom of others who have also “walked the walk”. Group therapy, education, and support are some of the preferred and most successful approaches to sobriety and recovery.
