About Conifer Park: Inpatient Addiction Treatment Detox & Rehab Center In New York

You will have an assessment when you come in. This will determine whether you need detox or if you can go right into the inpatient rehabilitation program. They have a 24-hour staff that will supervise you as you detox. They will provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) if detoxification becomes too painful.

You will have individual therapy sessions in which your therapists will try to find out the root causes of your substance use. They will work with you to try to change the way you think in order to change behaviors that are hurting you.

You will also have group therapy. They also have family group therapy sessions where you can discuss your addiction and your needs with your loved ones with a therapist present.

They have gender specific groups as people feel more comfortable talking about difficult subjects with those they have the most in common with. They also have groups for people with dual diagnosis.

They believe that true transformation requires both physical and mental health. In addition to therapy, you will participate in yoga and health and wellness activities.

They also have outpatient services. You may go in several times a week or just once. The therapist can help you find aftercare and sober living homes for continued support.

Conifer Park mever ordered My NEEDED medication which caused a seizure. There's feces on the walls which they wouldn't clean, four people to a DETOX ROOM. It is no doubt the most disgusting place in existence. No food in the fridge or cabinets, just one loaf of bread to eat. The meals were so heavy it's impossible to eat while your detoxing with zero alternatives. It's all about the money and they obviously put NONE of their funding towards patients. I had to be sent to the hospital for the seizure where I was told point blank Conifer Park was negligent. I called the justice center, and was offered the full names the ER physician and an RN that worked there because apparently this is a routine thing. For Your own personal safety do NOT give this place business. No lie it could cost you serious bodily harm.

0 stars. My family member voluntarily admitted himself. He stated that he wanted me involved in the process as much as the facility would allow. They made me leave immediately at intake, with no information, didn't allow me to use the toilet after driving over an hour to get him there. It then took 4 phone calls (one per hour) after nearly 24 hours before I heard anything from anyone. There was zero information given to either of us at any point and the website lacks anything specific. I am assuming only because I called and left numerous messages, spoke to his case manager before he had a chance to. He expressed some concerns to me regarding next steps, which I have yet to be informed of. I called 3 times and was unable to reach, anyone. His case manager never gave me her extension. I would NEVER reccomend this horrible facility to even my worst enemy. People are there trying to HEAL and he feels as though he is not receiving the care and treatment as some of the other patients. He also doesn't feel as though he should be treated like a prisoner, when he is there on his own volition. If I could rate this with a negative star, I would. Absolutely awful.

This place is nothing short of wonderful. It’s a place that will bend over backwards to help a client get back on their feet . Many similar types of clinics act as if the person struggling is just a number and treat them as such. However, Conifer Park practices compassion and patience and helps the person gain recovery from the addiction. The staff is introduced to the client at that persons worst then they help that person battle their demons and regain their dignity. I know all about rock bottoms and the trap doors they often hide, Conifer showed me how to elevate myself.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

For many different stages and therapies offered during addiction treatment, it's essential to offer 24-hour clinical care in New York. often involves medication treatment for drug or alcohol detox. The withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox can be dangerous, but having medical experts on-site around the clock means someone is always there to step in and provide emergency medical care when and if it is ever needed.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves weaning your body off of addictive substances in a medically supervised environment. If you've become dependent on alcohol and/or drugs, quitting on your own can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. In medically assisted detox, a team of licensed medical professionals will help manage potential withdrawal symptoms, ensuring that you're as safe and comfortable as possible. This process typically takes about 5-7 days, although the length will depend on your individual needs.

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer an intermediate level of care for clients who do not require the kind of intensive supervision and support an inpatient program typically provides. Many clients transition into outpatient care immediately after exiting inpatient treatment. Others enter outpatient programs upon completing detox. Some facilities offer ambulatory medical detox for clients who do not require hospitalization. Most outpatient rehabs offer a combination of services, including addiction counseling, life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Alcohol rehab in New York can help individuals overcome alcoholism. This alcohol addiction is characterized by drinking alcohol compulsively, being unable to control how much you drink, and feeling anxious or stressed when you're not drinking.

young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

You can participate in couples therapy to focus on a specific problem in your relationship or for general strengthening of the relationship. This therapy aims to help you improve communication, address conflict, and grow in affection for one another.

Family therapy helps individual members of the family unit navigate the complexities of addiction. Therapists provide you with the tools you need to improve communication skills and conflict resolution. When families work together, they can support their loved one's recovery and help to restore balance and harmony within the household.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New York is a short term therapeutic method used to treat substance use and mental health disorders. CBT typically lasts from five to 20 sessions, based on the individual's needs.

During dialectical behavior therapy in New York, you and your therapist will look for triggers and patterns that are guiding your emotions. This involves keeping a diary of your emotions and situations and sharing this each week with the therapist. This information will determine what you work on in each session.

In addiction treatment, recreational therapy focuses on engaging you in healthy activities to help reduce your cravings and improve your mental well being. You might engage in activities like cooking classes, hiking, group sports, or swimming as a constructive outlet for stress and emotions that help your recovery.

This place has saved my life!! This program gave me an out!! An out to that lifestyle of live fast die hard mindset using drugs had taken everything from me and I almost lost my life from a blood infection called MRSA and now I live in a wheelchair with a SCI (spinal cord injury) I could’ve given up and trust me I almost did but being on methadone and going to the clinic has breathed life into me!! I live a very simple happy life now and I wouldn’t want it any other way!!!

Response from the owner

Hi, I’ve been on method on most of my adult life on and off. I’ve raised two children back-and-forth with method. I’ve never been in a program like this everyone there has treated me with empathy and kindness. Last week. I walked in, obviously an agony with two broken ribs, no paperwork no hospital records within minutes I walked out. I was treated with such respect and grace that I cried for two days as an addict we always get treated poorly always so it’s a given so when we are heard and it’s obvious and they feel us it’s paramount it puts you in a different space and time in your life and you realize You deserved this treatment all along I thank you kind of for Park. You are now my catalyst to begin a new journey, Cecile. I have 7 broken ribs and 3 of them were broken in 2 different places the Drs were amazed because I still went to work!

Response from the owner
Every person deserves to be met with empathy, dignity, and care—especially in moments of pain. We're honored to have been there for you when you needed it most, and it means everything to know that you felt seen and respected. Your strength is undeniable, and we’re proud to be a part of your next chapter

Family member was just released from Conifer Park. He did receive detox but no counseling on how to deal with living alcohol free. His caseworker never met with him. He got out and started drinking 12 hours after being released

Conifer Park is a blessing for my community. There is a lot of negativity placed on these types of health centers. People should stop and reflect on the positive Conifer Park of Plattsburgh has shared with us. Think of the saved lives for example. When we speak of the good these clinics bring, the list is long.

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s incredibly encouraging to hear from someone who sees the heart behind the work we do. You’re right — there’s often a lot of stigma around treatment centers, but we see the strength, resilience, and transformation that happen here every day. We’re grateful to be a part of this community and to serve people who are working hard to build better futures.

They gave me a medical discharge a week before I was able to get my certificate saying they didn't know how to help my mental health a week before I complete My ultimate goal I was sent home not for bad reasons because they don't know how to treat mental health patience that's a way to have somebody fall back into their addiction by playing games with them we're mental ill were not special ed this rehab should be ashamed of themselves and need to and should know how to handle mental health patients instead of giving people cigarettes then getting to understand them first... Ps some of the staff were great very helpful some of the staff look out for that's helpful is Brandon he works morning and night but more at night shift Matt is the top supervisor in the afternoon he is very great to work with very understanding and have a lot of patience for his patients I would say Miss Jones me and her had problems but she is thorough and she is 100% with the program and it will help you with yours go to C2 or A2
