About Jacobi Medical Center – Pelham Parkway – Morris Park
Jacobi Medical Center – Pelham Parkway is a mental health, dual diagnosis, and substance use disorder treatment facility that assists adults looking for recovery. Their programming is designed with clinical, scientific, and evidence-based practices to ensure high-quality care.
Jacobi Medical Center – Pelham Parkway offers inpatient, outpatient, medication assisted treatment, and dual diagnosis treatment.
Inpatient treatment is for those who need mental and physical stabilization. This is a highly structured and monitored style of treatment that often incorporates detoxification into the process. Once stabilization has been achieved, counseling, educational classes, and behavioral approaches to treatment can begin. Common elements of inpatient include individual therapy, group therapy, and at times medication or trauma-informed counseling.
The outpatient programming at Jacobi Medical Center- Pelham Parkway is comprised of two programs, which are the medically supervised outpatient program and the outpatient detox program. The medically supervised outpatient program involves individual and group therapy, along with support services. This program is for those who are stable enough to receive treatment without a lot of structure or accountability.
Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long-term sobriety is achieved.
Jacobi Medical Center- Pelham Parkway uses a combination of medication, counseling, and behavioral therapy to treat opioid addiction. This program uses several medications that have proven to be effective in decreasing withdrawal and detox symptoms while supporting long-term recovery by way of continuing treatment under the care of a professional.
