About Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center – Inpatient

Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center - Inpatient, located in Utica, New York, offers mental health treatment for children, teens and adults. Their inpatient program is for children and teens between 5 and 17 years old.

At this facility, your child can get treatment for severe behavioral health concerns if they require 24-hour supervision. The team of child psychologists, social workers, recreational and occupational therapists and psychiatrists will provide full-service care for your child.

They will get the medical and psychological care they need. Certified teachers will provide classroom education for all grades as well as special education levels. Family involvement is vital to your child’s treatment. If you are from out-of-town, you can stay at Hospitality House while your child is in care.

I like that they blend in community agencies to participate during treatment so that your child has a seamless experience when they transition out of the inpatient unit.

Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center also offers outpatient, community-based programs for adults. They have locations in Utica, Rome and Herkimer. These programs are for adults who have a primary diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder. Dual diagnosis of substance abuse disorders is accepted, too.

Recovery looks different for each person. Yet, the focus of your treatment will be based on your strengths. You’ll get support in your recovery through peer support services, clinical services and wellness and health management.

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

When I was here, I felt horrible. I felt more into depression because I felt lonely, plus the staff always was rude to me and made me feel like I was a burden. My mental health only got damaged here.

I don't really know what to put into this. I was 13 when I went to this psych ward. but when I first got there they gave me clothes that were quite nice. a light blue t-shirt with a dark blue very soft sweater and some black sweat pants that had strings in them!! which I thought was crazy but I never said anything about it. bed time is 9 pm for kids 13 n up and any younger then that is 8:30 none school nights they would let you stay up till u wanted to go to bed... some staff are nice and some staff act like they hate there life which is VERY rude. kids would peel paint off the wall and write there name or this one kid put "help me" in big letters.. one girl kicked down one of the school doors and cut her self and rubbed her blood every where it got all over the ground and ceiling and walls. for me I was terrified which that made me act out and be mad which I would bang on my word door until someone would open it so I could run out, I punched and screamed and kicked the door in my hello kitty PJ's lol.. they truly don't care about you though.

I loved it there. When I got out I for some reason wanted to go back. It felt like home. We heard stories about the old building and it not being the best but the new building was great. The staff were awesome watching movies and playing games with them were the best things ever. Staff are great at their jobs. Foods actually pretty good. Their chicken reggies was so good. We only had 6 people in my ward during my stay. They were good kids I liked most of them. By the way if anyone found mine and Alexa s custom uno cards lmk. And harshit is the best staff member by far. That s all I gotta say

Not to bad of a place I was there when I was about 14 during school they tried to have me sit with a kid I didn't feel comfortable with because he tried to hurt me and the teacher wouldn't listen to me about it so I left the room then another staff that showed up do to me leaving the room was very understandingAnd they were very respectful to me and let me have my own space with music headphones after I got a call from my gram saying my dog passed awayNot really that bad of a place like people say it is when it comes to the staff but overall I do agree it's kinda like a prison peaple wanting to fight you I had one kid that wanted to fight me and the staff just let it happen just because she was a female I wasn't going to put my hands on a girl so I was apparently supposed to just take the beaten and rude words thrown at me

I went here as a teen back in 2016 when it was in the old building and it was the most horrible and abusive experience of my life. It was like kid prison. I left and went to Four Winds a couple years later which was like night and day difference. I don't know if it is still that bad but I would assume so, so PLEASE for the love of god don't send your kids there. Send them to Four Winds or literally anywhere else.

There were some parts I did not like there I was 13 years old and with someone who has had a bad experience with me cousin doing inappropriate things to me I would say they should separate boys and girls on separate wards also I don't think it is ok for the 5-6 year olds with the teens. Also I don't think it is ok that they keep your items that you need for your menstrual cycle in the ward so then when your in the school room the morning staff during the week I had would not let them go back to the ward so I could get the stuff I needed. The evening staff where genuinely understand and were always willing to listen to me say what I have to say and there were a few staff whu would genuinely help me and I could tell that they cared about me

this place is nothing less than a prison. the staff not only doesn t care about your problems but they also make fun of them with other patients and coworkers. i was here for 13 days and i personally think it made me worse than before i was in there. the nurse leslie is incredibly rude to everyone there including the staff. the food was okay, i enjoyed the chicken tenders. but they group you with people of much different age groups and problems. i personally think it isn t right for a 16-17 year old to spend every day with 5-6 year olds who haven t even matured yet. overall i found this place to be highly traumatizing and i would not recommend at all.
