understanding addiction &
the path to recovery

We believe there isn't a one-size-fits all approach to substance use treatment & recovery. Instead, we work with you and your loved ones to develop tools that work best for you and your unique lived experiences.

​

We’re pleased to share that Delaware Psychological Services is now officially licensed by the Delaware Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) to provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services.​

 

Being licensed means that our programs meet the state’s highest standards for clinical quality, safety, and accountability — ensuring our patients receive evidence-based, compassionate care from qualified professionals in a trusted environment. This designation reflects our continued commitment to providing accessible, culturally competent, and effective treatment options for individuals and families impacted by substance use.

​

Our screening tool below is the first step in determining whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Overdose deaths involving opioids, including prescription opioidsheroin, and synthetic opioids (like fentanyl), have increased by more than eight times since 1999. Overdoses involving opioids killed nearly 69,000 people in 2020, and over 82% of those deaths involved synthetic opioids.

The first step in prevention of misuse is education. Meet your teens where they are: their phones.

 

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has developed an app - AlcoholFX - specifically designed to teach teens how alcohol disrupts brain functions.
