Journeys in Mental Health and Wellness Wendell

Set along a main road in Wake County, Wendell, North Carolina, Journeys in Mental Health and Wellness provides outpatient mental health and substance use services for children, teens, and adults, ages 6years and older. Caring and person-centered care is matched with evidence-based treatment to ensure quality support is given to every client.

What Every Visit Focuses On

Restoring quality of life among kids, teens, couples and families starts with focusing on real situations. Children and teens work on emotions, behavior, and school stress, while adults address mental health, substance use and relationship challenges. Visits may use 1-on-1 or include family to keep things consistent at home. Sessions work on improving mood, reducing anxiety and helping individuals step out of repetitive and obsessive behavior. When needed, medication management is available, along with a non-medication option called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Working Through Substance Use Step by Step

At Journeys in Mental Health and Wellness, substance use is handled in a well-organized way, explained step-by-step to understand how specific substances affect the body and daily routine. For individuals dealing with opioids and kratom, treatment often includes medication like buprenorphine to help reduce cravings and manage withdrawals. Alcohol use is addressed with medication such as naltrexone to make drinking less appealing. Putting an end to nicotine use can be hard, but with customized plans built for every client, using nicotine replacement, stress and anxiety management and relapse prevention counseling, it becomes more manageable to stop it.

Turning Progress Into Daily Habits

Across all substance use, treatment is paired with regular sessions with therapists and 12-Step methods to help clients focus on resolving stress, strengthening ability to cope with difficult situations. Progress is checked regularly, not just by talking, but by looking at what’s changing daily. Plans are adjusted along the way, keeping it focused on habits that work beyond the session room.
