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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

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. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
