About Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center – Inpatient

At this facility, your child can get treatment for severe behavioral health concerns if they require 24-hour supervision. The team of child psychologists, social workers, recreational and occupational therapists and psychiatrists will provide full-service care for your child.

They will get the medical and psychological care they need. Certified teachers will provide classroom education for all grades as well as special education levels. Family involvement is vital to your child’s treatment. If you are from out-of-town, you can stay at Hospitality House while your child is in care.

I like that they blend in community agencies to participate during treatment so that your child has a seamless experience when they transition out of the inpatient unit.

Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center also offers outpatient, community-based programs for adults. They have locations in Utica, Rome and Herkimer. These programs are for adults who have a primary diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder. Dual diagnosis of substance abuse disorders is accepted, too.

Recovery looks different for each person. Yet, the focus of your treatment will be based on your strengths. You’ll get support in your recovery through peer support services, clinical services and wellness and health management.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

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

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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. Treatment for alcohol addiction may involve brief intervention, an outpatient program, or inpatient alcohol rehab in New York. The main goal of treatment is to stop alcohol use to improve quality of life.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

When I was here, I felt horrible. I felt more into depression because I felt lonely, plus the staff always was rude to me and made me feel like I was a burden. My mental health only got damaged here.

I went here as a child and it was genuinely traumatic. Send your kid to Four Winds if you can because that place actually treats you like a human being. Sucks that your mental health is dependent on whether you can afford private health insurance. The system is broken and the poor on medicaid go to facilities like this and the kids that can afford it go to Four Winds, and any mental health physician in this state that's honest will tell you that. Maybe this facility has gotten better in the last ten years, but I highly doubt it.

personal shoutout to Mr.Muhammad!! He was so litty and mr.larry and basically everyone on ward 85 or 83 idk i forgot but it’s not so bad there tbh but it’s nothing like fourwinds or any private hospital. Since it’s state it sucks and you aren’t allowed in your room unless it’s time to sleep. There’s no way to stay tact (there is but it takes a lot of effort) don’t sh while being there, at least not publicly cause they will have someone watch you shower 😭and not like in fourwinds where they at least turn around to give you privacy, they really will look at you. Understaffed often but I only didn’t like two staff during my 16 day stay, one of which wasn’t mean to the kids I just didn’t like how rude she was to other staff who were literally just trying to do their jobs. The food is like normal hospital food because it’s not catered my companies or anything since it’s state. It’s healthy and gross but you do get dessert often which is nice. They lock the dayroom from the inside so unless someone lets you out then you’re stuck inside so be careful when you go in. Shower water is almost always cold and the “littles” always go first which is anyone 12 or under. The wards aren’t separated by literally anything so you could be 17 with a 10 year old on your ward. It’s freezing there and they don’t let you have anything with a hood and yea. That’s my super honest review if you’re considering coming say NO but if you have no choice prepare yourself. They don’t do body checks but they do use a metal detector wand but not very throughly so you could get away with something probably if you hid it well enough. You can have a stuffed animal you bring as long as it’s washable because they wash and dry anything you show up with. Stay safe pookie bears and stay out of the funny farm (unless you can’t) good luck

Personally the place had its ups and downs in my opinion they didn't help at all they are rude to the kids there. They force them to do stuff they don't want to do, they yell at them, there is many fights there, the only nice staff there is Mr Larry, at a couple others I forgot there names.. the place looked nice, but the chill room and art room for degraded, they didn't even let us use the playground, they tried separating me and my friend, they separated them from a completely different room practically isolation from other people. There was always yelling and screaming and I feel guilty about leaving knowing I left my friend there knowing they have been there fir so long and they obviously arnt getting fixed becuase thay place dosnt help at all, I do love how they have the headphones tho and om not saying I didn't enjoy some of my time there but most nights I just cried myself to sleep becuase this place wasn't anybetyer then my home. I have to thank Mr Larry for being such a amazing person there and caring for me and my friend and actually being a good human. I love doing art stuff there and watching movies the place isn't all bad I just said the bad stuff about it there was stuff I did enjoy but I barly remember becuase of all the bad stuff I ended up crying in gym class becuase i had a huge headache and we were all still forced to go. This isn't the place to go if you want help.

I don't really know what to put into this. I was 13 when I went to this psych ward. but when I first got there they gave me clothes that were quite nice. a light blue t-shirt with a dark blue very soft sweater and some black sweat pants that had strings in them!! which I thought was crazy but I never said anything about it. bed time is 9 pm for kids 13 n up and any younger then that is 8:30 none school nights they would let you stay up till u wanted to go to bed... some staff are nice and some staff act like they hate there life which is VERY rude. kids would peel paint off the wall and write there name or this one kid put "help me" in big letters.. one girl kicked down one of the school doors and cut her self and rubbed her blood every where it got all over the ground and ceiling and walls. for me I was terrified which that made me act out and be mad which I would bang on my word door until someone would open it so I could run out, I punched and screamed and kicked the door in my hello kitty PJ's lol.. they truly don't care about you though.
