About Astor Services for Children and Families – Seymour Smith Elementary School – Pine Plains
Astor Services for Children and Families – Seymour Smith Elementary School acts as an offsite facility of Astor, linking families to resources for addiction recovery. Their centers provide screenings to identify problems early. They also offer counseling for individuals and families.
The Seymour Smith location is also a bridge to Astor’s bigger counseling centers in Dutchess and Ulster Counties. They can help you access medication management, psychiatric evaluations and treatment for co-occurring disorders. If someone at Seymour Smith needs more in-depth addiction recovery programs, the team can set them up with the right resources.
Having this facility within the school is a huge advantage for families. It’s easy to get to, and because it’s part of the school, it feels like a natural extension of their daily lives. Kids don’t have to step into an unfamiliar clinic or face the anxiety of going somewhere new. Instead, they can get the help they need in a space they already associate with learning and safety.
Substance abuse screenings are offered to catch early warning signs of drug or alcohol use and provide actionable next steps. They also offer psychological testing that thoroughly evaluates emotional and behavioral challenges to inform treatment. If needed, the center refers families to specialized addiction programs.
