About St Peter’s Addiction Recovery – Albany
St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center, or SPARC, for short, is an addiction treatment center that provides residential services to men suffering from drug and alcohol addictions. It’s located in Albany, New York. Their program offers detox services with medication assisted treatment, and evidence-based modalities of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
Medication assisted treatment can help you by reducing dangerous and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms caused by severe drug or alcohol addictions.
They also provide individual counseling and group therapy, while doing their best to educate you about managing stress and problem-solving in order to avoid relapse. They also utilize the 12 Step program in order to help you heal.
Going back to their counseling offerings, individual therapy can help you by setting you up with your own personal therapist who will talk to you and help you figure out why certain triggers may cause you to relapse and help you find coping strategies. Group therapy, on the other hand, gives you the chance to work alongside your peers and learn from their stories, while in turn sharing your story so that you can feel a bit more understood.
