About Astor Services for Children & Families – Poughkeepsie
Astor Services for Children and Families is an outpatient counseling center in Poughkeepsie, New York. Their High Fidelity Wraparound Program is actually one of several locations in the area. They have a wide range of mental health care here, including treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. Keep in mind, though, that they offer services for kids and adolescents and young adults up to age 26.
One thing I think is important to note about this facility is that they have a sliding scale for payment. You pay what you can afford based on your income and family size and they won’t turn anyone away for an inability to pay so anyone can get the care they need. I also think it’s helpful that you can do walk-in intakes here every weekday.
This counseling center takes a strengths based approach. That means they lean into your strengths as a way to help you overcome your addiction and find peace in recovery. They do this through individual therapy as well as group and family counseling when it’s appropriate. They’re also accredited by The Joint Commission for quality care.
At this treatment center, they have numerous programs and levels of care like intensive outpatient programs and day treatment along with school based treatment programs and programs that coordinate with assigned advocates and the juvenile justice system. They also have psychiatric and mental health treatment here, so they can help with a dual diagnosis.
The reviews for this treatment center are mixed, but there’s a lot of negative feedback. Some clients say they aren’t treated with kindness and are brushed off as a bother. But at the same time, other clients say that they’ve had only good experiences here and that they’ve seen positive results from their treatment.
