About Onondaga County Mental Health – Syracuse
Onondaga County Mental Health in Syracuse, New York, is a government organization offering dual diagnosis recovery and peer engagement services. Adults aged 18 years or older are eligible to receive assistance.
The dual diagnosis recovery program treats individuals dealing with substance abuse and mental health challenges. The health facility takes a holistic approach to treating both conditions. Treatments are personalized to a client’s specific physical and psychological issues. One thing I really like about this program is their Recovery Oriented System of Care. It’s a network of community services to help improve client’s health and quality of life. It’s a great extra step to ensure clients have all the help they need to overcome addiction.
Onondaga County Mental Health’s peer engagement service is a voluntary service for adults in any stage of recovery. A client is provided with peers to direct them to helpful services including care management and housing. They also help clients to see the barriers that may get in the way of their recovery. Clients can refer themselves to this service, or be referred by family or other community members.
