St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers

About St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers

St Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Centers has multiple locations throughout the state of New York. Their facility in Elizabethtown, New York is now closed but they were a substance use disorder and mental health treatment center for adolescents and adults. They were also a LGBTQ+ affirming program and CARF accredited.

This center offered inpatient care, outpatient care and supportive housing. They also offered a veterans program and a mobile treatment program. The mobile treatment program was much like an outpatient treatment program. It ensured that those who had transportation issues could still receive the treatment that they needed.

With the inpatient program, you could stay up to 90 days. You and your counselor would come up with an individualized program that meets your needs. They used evidence based methods to help with your recovery. They focused on your addiction and any co-occurring mental illness that may be causing your addiction. If needed, they could use medication assisted therapy to help you with your withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. Saint Josephs Addiction Treatment operates two Guest Houses; one in Poughkeepsie, the other location is in Schenectady. The Houses provide living arrangements for recovering men, 18 and over, who are looking to transition to independent living.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

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.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

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

Cognitive 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.

Participants include, but are not limited to: parents, children (ages 13 and older), spouses, significant others, friends, sponsors, and other relatives.

Group 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.
