Medical briefcase icon 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.

aftercare iconAftercare

Clients in rehab aftercare programs receive a customized portfolio of services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. These clients have completed high-level treatment, are typically exiting detox and/or intensive inpatient care and are reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services address addiction disease as a chronic condition requiring continuing care. Clients typically work with case managers and recovery teams to access necessary resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction support.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid 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.

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.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

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.

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.

If I cld give Zero starts I would. My experience at this clinic was absurd. The front clerk lady was friendly however in an unprofessional way. At first she made a comment about HIPPA law and masked people to move. However there is know where else for them to stand and wait toCheck. Then the volume of her voice carried so loudly tht it didn t matter where anyone was standing, becaus I heard her when I walked into yeh bldg but didn t realize it was here n till left out and heard her while walking outside. Everyone waiting to see DR and or waiting to ask a question, she was loudly asking the information and also repeated rx names and their preference of pharmacy s. When I patients asked to speak to DR. Becus they were confused that too was voiced loudly. So what is the point of confidentiality or privacy with such loudness taking over the check in and no space to have the privacy to give the information.. I think the best part of this experience is tht we didn t need to stop and reschedule, to avoid the waiting area learning all said info from the appt or next appt date.

If there was an option to leave 0 stars I would, one star is even too much. I have been a patient for years and this past year and a half it has went downhill. I have not been able to get my prescription filled on time not even once. I call call & call and always get the same answer I have sent a message to the nurse to get your medication refilled the medicine never gets refilled and always have to take time away from work to chase down someone to actually get it filled for me. Last month i was out of my medication for 3 weeks!!!! They said they sent it in and informed me it was Wegmans fault and not theirs and that took weeks to straighten out, they always think you are lying to them.Communication is an absolute 0 the pharmacy can t even get ahold of the place when there s an issue or mistake in medication dosage even a doctors office should not be gambling with the community s health especially with people who depend on medication to ensure their health is not in jeopardy. I had an appointment today at 11:45am and I am still sitting here right now and it s 12:43pm!!!! The place is just all nurses and 1 doctor who is absent everyday accept for Wed. Do yourself a favor and find another place to ensure your in good health.

Both times I've needed urgent care, SCHC got me in fast and took fabulous care of me (even better than my own PCP). What my pcp thought as only a virus, turned into strep for 8 days. SCHC gave me antibiotics and within 36 hours, I feel SO MUCH BETTER. I am switching my care to the health center ASAP!

The health center is the worst place ever to go to you do not want to go there. You ll be sitting there all day long. I came in at 11:45 waited two hours and 30 minutes I only got a set of vitals done. I had to get my children from school so I asked him how much longer was the wait. It s already 230! He said the wait was longer than 30 mins. So I left to grab my children from the bus stop and came back now I m being told I have 9 people ahead of me. They don t wash their hands. A nurse touch me with the same glove she touched her Previous patient with. I m never going back there I ll never refer anyone to go there as a patient. I wouldn t even bring my children there! I rate this place a 0 I had to put 1 star to move forward
