About Carthage Area Hospital Behavioral Health – Carthage
The behavioral Health program at Carthage Area Hospital is one of many offerings at this facility in Carthage, New York. If you need help due to mental or emotional challenges, Carthage can help. They work with adults, teens and children with a variety of needs.
Their team of medical professionals includes therapists, mental health counselors, social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists. Addiction, depression, stress, family challenges, and grief are just a few of the conditions that this facility treats. Treatment will be tailored to your needs and may include medication, counseling and therapy.
The first step is an initial assessment and diagnosis. Then, you and the Carthage staff will create a treatment plan. If needed, they will refer you to other support programs. I like that they accept walk-in intakes.
Carthage accepts a long list of insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Excellus), North Country Cancer Services Program, Empire and Fidelis among others. You will get services here even if you can’t pay. There is also financial assistance based on income and family size. I like that an insurance rep is on site in the lobby to answer questions and help you apply for government insurance.
