Saint Mary’s Healthcare – Addiction Services

You’ll find Saint Mary’s Healthcare – Addiction Services in Amsterdam, New York, about 30 minutes outside of Albany. They provide intensive and traditional outpatient care for adults experiencing substance abuse or co-occurring disorders. You’ll benefit from the flexibility to attend treatment while living at home.

Their programs provide proven therapeutic interventions to help you reach your recovery goals. You can participate in individual and family counseling to gain essential coping skills, rebuild relationships with loved ones, and plan for relapse prevention.

Their dedicated case managers also work one on one with you to identify and secure vital needs, like housing, healthcare, treatment referrals, and more. Additionally, medication assisted treatment is available to help you overcome withdrawal symptoms to promote sustained recovery.

What strikes me most is their walk in ancillary withdrawal services. Where you’re currently using substances or in withdrawal, they provide medication maintenance to help you with the symptoms. They may prescribe Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol. You can also access treatment referrals if you’re ready to start recovery.

I also think it’s great that they offer peer recovery services. Your certified peer recovery advocate serves as a helpful ally throughout recovery. With lived experience in recovery, they use their unique perspective to offer support and guidance. You’ll also benefit from connections to essential resources to advance your journey.

Another standout feature I noticed was their specialized legal assessments. You can access DSS, DWI/DUI, and specialized court ordered assessments. That way, you can fulfill your legal requirements and understand the best next steps for your situation.
