Saint Josephs Medical Center Positive

This is a private outpatient clinic for adults in Yonkers, and it treats substance use alongside mental health concerns rather than one at a time. Staff build an individual plan for each person who walks in, so the schedule and the goals reflect what a particular man, woman or young adult actually needs. The clinic holds Joint Commission accreditation and sits among 609 SAMHSA-listed rehabs in New York.

Because the program is outpatient, participants stay in their own homes, keep working and maintain family routines while they come in for sessions. The plan is built to treat substance use alongside any co-occurring mental health condition together, which is what the clinic's own description stresses. Adults living in Yonkers can get drug and alcohol treatment here while staying at home. The approach is encouraging rather than confrontational, and the aim is care that holds up over time.

Levels of care and approaches in Yonkers

This clinic operates as an outpatient program, meaning appointments are scheduled and nobody stays overnight. Services are arranged for dual diagnosis care, so someone dealing with both a substance use disorder and a mental health diagnosis can have both handled in a single plan. A typical program length of 30 days appears in the listing, although how long any one person stays depends on the clinical assessment. Outpatient care in Yonkers allows a person with a substance use disorder to keep up daily responsibilities.

Among the therapies listed are individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, group sessions, motivational interviewing, medication-assisted treatment, online therapy, relapse prevention counseling and Twelve Step facilitation, with Twelve Step named as one approach. Medication-assisted treatment may involve medications like Suboxone when a prescriber decides it fits; that call rests with the clinician, not with this guide. Aftercare covers continuing care, outpatient treatment and support meetings, so a plan can continue beyond the first month. A person coming from a higher level of care can step down to outpatient services here.

Setting, length and languages in Yonkers

Appointments take place at 317 South Broadway, 2nd Floor, in Yonkers, which is an outpatient location and not a residential facility. A typical program length of 30 days is noted in the listing, with continuing care and support meetings offered after that. Services are available in English and Spanish, and online therapy appears among the options, which helps when a schedule or commute makes coming in person hard. Yonkers residents who speak Spanish can request services in their own language.

Paying for outpatient care in Yonkers

Cash pay rates appear among the payment choices in the listing, and this guide cannot give you a price. The listing does not confirm insurance, so phone the clinic and ask which plans it takes and what your portion would be before you settle on a start date. If Medicaid in New York covers you, ask plainly whether the clinic participates, since that answer determines what you really pay. Calling the helpline can help you verify coverage before you book an appointment.

Worth asking before you agree to admit

1. Will the clinic take my insurance plan, and how much of the cost will I owe?
2. How is the 30-day program structured around work, school or family duties?
3. Who provides medication-assisted treatment, and how often are prescriptions reviewed?
4. How are dual diagnosis care and substance use handled in one plan?
5. How does continuing care work after the first month, and are support meetings included?
