About Glenridge Sanatorium

Conifer Park features a continuum of addiction and co-occurring disorder care in Schenectady, New York. They welcome adults who are seeking a stable living environment with 24/7 support. You’ll benefit from residential treatment with an individualized and holistic approach. If your condition grows less acute over time, you can downscale to their outpatient centers around the state.

In inpatient rehab, you can step away from the people, places, and things contributing to addiction. Their structured program offers ongoing medical supervision and assistance, including detox. You can participate in a combination of proven and experiential interventions to increase overall wellness and sustain recovery.

One standout feature is their holistic therapies. You’ll benefit from art therapy, yoga, and meditation to learn healthy ways to decompress and positively handle life challenges. You can then take these practices with you after treatment to aid in your recovery journey.

I also like that they have gender separate programs. Each one focuses on unique challenges men and women can face alongside addiction. For example, the women’s group covers topics like parenting, depression, anger, codependency, loss, anxiety, and trauma. Combining these targeted groups with a gender specific space can help you open up in treatment and connect with peers who are going through the same things.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
