About A Step One

When looking for a rehab center committed to providing cost-effective treatment, you should consider Step One, which is located in Highland, New York. This rehab center has been popular in recent years as it offers many addiction treatment services that empower individuals to begin their journey toward a drug and alcohol-free life.

Most often, those who require assistance with substance abuse disorders, court referrals, DWI, and mental health treatment enroll at this facility. At Step One, you can expect client centered trauma informed outpatient care. If you enroll in the men’s and women’s intensive outpatient program, you’ll undergo an assessment and a comprehensive treatment plan. Afterward, you can enjoy relapse prevention groups.

Most find that the outpatient treatment plan helps with developing sober skills, and you might find this to be the case for you, too. This intensive outpatient program will require you to be involved in group and individual sessions five times weekly. You will be assigned a friendly and compassionate counselor and enjoy the benefits of the treatments while you remain in your own home.

If you don’t want to be in a coed intensive outpatient program, you can enroll in the men’s or women’s intensive outpatient program. These programs offer treatment three to six days a week with three hour group or individual counseling. If you are looking for help with your child’s addiction problems, there is also an adolescent track for those aged 15 to 18, with sessions up to three times a week.

I loved that at this rehab, they really care about helping patients. Most past patients agree that the treatment they received here was second to none and incredibly effective at helping them overcome their addictions and substance abuse related problems.

They are no help except helping themselves. Don t ask for individual therapy treatment because then they will just throw you into a substance abuse instead of mental help. Even had a problem with them talking to my probation officer about my case , but they had no problem to ask my probation officer about other people and not me when for months my probation officer and me both were waiting to hear from them. I even paid $30 for a interview intake and nope never heard back , but they for sure took the money out of my bank account so they got what they wanted while I sit here and still wait. Even emailed one of the women that was there for extra help and no response, not even a reply of hey I m sorry I can t help just nothing. Terrible place , people only care about themselves. Don t come here!!!

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

Was directed to StepOne for a simple consultation and a report to be made of me. After 3 phone conversations constituting an extended intake , making almost no mention of my use of drugs or alcohol or how I can keep better control of my triggers, their team decided that I should continue for 12 weeks of their program. Given that my therapist asked more questions about my wife and my cats than about my personal experience with alcohol I declined their treatment.It is now one month later and I m still waiting for the report they have claimed to be writing up on me.I m thankful that I feel confident in my sobriety from alcohol and am motivated to continue working on myself, individually. If you need the help and support of a professional, do not use StepOne.

Joe the "therapist" cared more about counseling me and my wife's marriage for $300 per hour than cared about getting me sober saying I did not belong because I was in therapy on my own and carred more about the people that were there on paper so he could control them..... he told me I could leave at any time and did not care about me....he cares more about lining his pocket then about the people he is supposed to he counseling... I would never show my face in his establishment..... I would never see him even if I had a real problem ...... everyone else was a pleasure to deal with .....

This place is the most effective and helpful recovery place I ve ever had the pleasure of attending. The dedication of staff to get to know their clients rather than just gaining as many as they can and not really knowing anything about them is very meaningful. I would recommend this facility for anyone dealing with drug/alcohol issues and they are dual diagnosis well equipped for mental illness. This is the best recovery tool I ve ever had access to and I m so thankful.
