If you or someone you know is suffering from alcoholism, drug abuse or a mental illness, Bon Secours Community Hospital's behavioral health services can assist you in your time of need. Bon Secours Community Hospital provides psychiatric, psychological, medical and neurological care in a supportive environment.
The New Directions Program utilizes a multidisciplinary treatment team consisting of psychiatrists, nurses, case managers, social workers, and CASAC counselors.
The integrated treatment program encourages recovery of both dependence and mental illness through daily educational and therapeutic activity groups, individual and group therapy, 12-step and relapse prevention, orientation and family/collateral involvement. An understanding of how chemical dependency and mental illness are inter-related can increase a patient's chances for a sustained recovery. Competently trained staff utilize medication monitoring, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy, and 12 step-program models to reinforce the recovery process.
The average length of stay is 4 days for detoxification and 14 days for rehabilitation. Patients must be 18 years of age or older. Most major insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare, is accepted.
For detox services, patients should come to the ER (open 24 hours/day) and for additional detox related information please call, 845.376.6801.
For admissions for rehab, call 845.368.5242.
The New Directions Program is dually licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) for inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation services.
