About Beacon Center – Cortland
Beacon Center in Cortland, New York, is an outpatient substance abuse recovery facility. They serve young adults and adolescents. They offer medication assisted treatment. This treatment uses specific FDA approved medication in conjunction with counseling to treat opioid dependence and alcoholism.
Their medication assisted treatment uses Suboxone and Vivitrol as risk reduction medication. Naltrexone is used for alcohol use disorders. These medicines minimize withdrawal symptoms, manage cravings and generally promote lasting recovery. The specific medication may vary depending on your unique condition.
Their outpatient program primarily includes comprehensive assessment and counseling. Individual and group counseling helps you address the root causes of your addiction and build robust coping strategies against triggers. This facilitates relapse prevention, which is essential for lasting recovery. Family therapy, addiction education and life skill training may also be provided depending on your condition.
They also offer intensive outpatient care. This level of treatment makes sense if you need more structured care and support than you can get in traditional outpatient care. Either way, both programs enhance flexibility by allowing you to participate in therapeutic activities while maintaining your job or academic activities.
Beacon Center also provides dual diagnosis treatment via their Compass program. This program includes medication management and monitoring through their clinic psychiatrist and psychiatrist nurse practitioner.
