About Family Services – Chemung County Crisis Program – Elmira, New York

Family Services of Chemung is an outpatient mental health and family services center in Elmira, New York. They offer a variety of outpatient counseling services along with care management and a child advocacy center but they have one particularly interesting program called the Crisis Program.

The Crisis Program is a specialized program that operates in Chemung County and Schuyler County. It’s a mobile response team that can help you through a mental health or behavioral health crisis. In the case of addiction recovery this could include a crisis when you’re very tempted to relapse and you need someone to help you avoid relapse. Or it could be when you hit your rock bottom and you need help to figure out where to go to get the treatment you need like detox and residential rehab or to talk through your options.

Along with these cases they can help you through other types of mental health crises. For example if you have a mental illness and your symptoms become very severe or if you’re having thoughts of suicide they will be there to help. Or they can help you through a crisis that comes from a life event like losing someone you love.

This mobile crisis team is available at all times 24/7 and they’ll come to where you are to help you or they can counsel you over the phone. They can guide you through especially difficult times and they can also provide referrals to help you get longer term care.

This might not be the typical type of addiction treatment program you find but they serve a very important role in the recovery process. If you’re in Chemung County or Schuyler County this is a resource that will always be there if you need it.
