- Inpatient: Mobile crisis, outpatient, care managers, clergy, other professions or the individual themselves may refer the individual to inpatient. Inpatient is detox or rehab. Detox is a short (week or so) long stay in which the individual is supervised by medical staff for detox off substances. Oftentimes they choose to transfer to a rehab program after completing detox. Many rehab facilities are available. This was traditionally a 28-day program, but currently individuals only get this much time with a court order or straight medicaid. Most insurance covers 14-days and the UR department of the facility asks for additional weeks based on how the person is doing. Rehabs and insurance look at mental health and withdrawal/ cravings when giving more time. They do not keep someone based on homelessness. They can keep a person if they are getting a bed-to-bed placement at a halfway-house soon.
- Alcohol and Benzodiazepines are especially dangerous to detox from. Alcohol depresses or slows the brain and the brain speeds up to try and “over-ride the alcohol’s effects. When a person stops drinking, the alcohol is no longer slowing down the brain functions but the brain has not adjusted yet. This causes the shakes or tremors, especially in the hands. High blood pressure and heart rate can occur. Seizures, panic and delusions can occur with alcohol and benzo withdrawal.
- Outpatient: These are facilities that provide addiction and mental health medications, individual counseling sessions and groups for recovery. They are utilized for clients in early recovery after inpatient treatment or incarceration. A client is usually engaged with outpatient a number of months to several years.
- Recovery Community and Sponsor: 12 Step, Refuge Recovery, The Landing, Celebrate Recovery are all types of meetings that are free and should be attended long-term for support in recovery. They meet regularly at various times of day and are about an hour. Healing Springs in Saratoga and Hope and Healing in Hudson Falls have in person and virtual options for meetings. Three local churches: Pine Knolls, New Life Baptist Church and New Hope Community Church offer recovery programs.
- Residential: Sometimes a person will transfer to a residential program from an inpatient facility. This can be a personal choice or required by legal. There are OASAS approved and faith-based residential programs. These programs vary from several months to a year. This is a community setting where a person lives in a staffed home with other people in early recovery. They go to appointments, outpatient and meetings. Usually a person has household responsibilities. After completion of a halfway house a person is given more freedom and moved to supportive living apartments which gets them ready for re-entry into the community.
- The following modalities (Congregate Care Level 2) are listed from the most structured to the least structured:820/Rehabilitation – For individuals who are stable enough to manage their emotional states, urges and cravings, co-occurring psychiatric symptoms and medical conditions within the safety of a residential setting. Medical and clinical staff provide monitoring for medical and psychiatric symptoms that are stable. Services include medical monitoring of chronic conditions including routine medication management and individual, group and family counseling focused on rehabilitation. The treatment program teaches individuals to manage self and interactions with others with increasing independence.819/Intensive Residential – Intensive Residential services are for individuals who are stable enough to manage their emotional states and medical conditions within the safety of a residential setting. Medical, psychiatric, and intensive mental health counseling services are provided in the community and treatment is coordinated between the program and the outside provider. In the program clients receive daily group counseling in addition to weekly sessions with their primary counselor. Family counseling is also provided. Daily living skills are learned via communal living.819/Community Residence – (formerly referred to as a “halfway house”) – Services are focused on providing a safe environment where clients can develop and improve their coping skills. In the residence clients receive weekly individual sessions which focus primarily on case management and providing support. Groups include enhancement of life skills. Clients also receive services from outpatient clinics that include medication assisted treatment and/or psychiatric medication management. Medical services are obtained in the community. Services also include community meetings, activities of daily living (ADL) support, case management, vocational support and clinical services to support transition to independent living.820/Reintegration – Reintegration services are provided by a team of clinical staff for individuals who require a time-limited, multifaceted array of services, structure and support to achieve and sustain recovery. The treatment program consists of, but is not limited to, individual, group and family counseling, relapse prevention and coping skills training, motivational enhancement, and drug refusal skills training. Reintegration services help individuals transition from structured treatment environments to more independent living. Most services are provided in the community and include clinical and social services. Individuals are provided a safe living environment with a high degree of behavioral accountability. Services through the accompanying outpatient include medical and clinical oversight of chronic but stable medical and psychiatric symptoms and conditions. Services also include community meetings, activities of daily living (ADL) support, case management, vocational support and clinical services to support transition to independent living.819/Supportive Living – Supportive living services are designed to promote independent living in a supervised setting for individuals who have completed another course of treatment, are making the transition to independent living, and whose need for services does not require staffing on site on a 24-hour a day basis. These services provide a minimum level of support. These services are for individuals who either require a supportive environment following care in another type of residential service or who are in need of a transitional living environment prior to establishing independent community living.
- MAT/ MMTP: Many people in long-term recovery choose to stay on Suboxone, Methadone or Vivitrol long-term with an outpatient or their primary care doctor.
- Incarceration: There are resources for jail and prison. A good contact for the local jails is the mobile recovery, as they can make sure a person is connected to addiction medications at the time of release. Additionally, BHSN Center for Recovery has a Washington county jail worker, Baywood has a Warren county Jail worker and Healing Springs has a Saratoga county jail worker.
