Drug Rehab Centers in Schenectady, New York

Eh..on one hand I owe them for helping me when I was in a very bad situation so I have to say that much. On the other I have never had an organization refuse to listen to my feedback like Mohawk Opportunities. The staff at lower levels are grouchy and talk down to you, it's very demoralizing and triggers the very issues they claim to be helping me with. I guess what I'm saying is the staff needs sensitivity training, particularly for someone claiming to work in the mental health field. I'm high functioning so if I'm getting treated like this I fear for the other clients.So sometimes I feel patronized, I get the feeling they aren't familiar with clients with cptsd. However, I am eternally grateful to these folks for aiding me & giving me a beautiful 1st apartment. Thank you everyone at Mohawk & because of that you get 4 stars despite my concerns.Edit: adding a star as they've grown on me & I do appreciate their help.

Excellent service, everyone very polite and professional

People are very kind and helpful and willing to work with you when your part of their housing programs

This place is the reason I am A YEAR clean right now. Days I wanted to run away because nobody at my age wants to be told what to do ,now I see it was the only way I would make it.

You guys were always handy and never disappointed me, even though sometimes I felt like giving up. Thank for your understanding.

I appreciate everything that you did for me.

Been going here since 2016 my mom went there too. Never have I had a disrespectful worker there, they treat you with kindness with in reason. My therapists are always and still go out of their way to help me in most facets of my life, their jobs is to help you with your mental illness not to find jobs or to do the work for you. And in that respect sometimes they go above and beyond. I had one bad experience with a newer therapist but they asked me if I wanted a new one and they gave them to me I ve had two others and they are the best. Even my doctor from there is awesome. They even let me change my psychiatrist. So in my experience this place with all its programs is one of the best. And I still go there and will continue. If there are any problems you caused them yourself .

I ve been going here since my suicide attempt in May of 2017 and I honestly couldn t be happier with the doctors I have. I d never been able to find a therapist I clicked with until I got here (Miklos). I will admit that I endured a couple years of suffering under the spacey and aggressive rule of Dr Mittol, who used the threat of withholding refills to force me into bending to his arbitrary rules, but I was able to switch to a better psychiatrist, and once that one retired I was sent to an even better one (Dr Mantas) who I am so pleased with.I ve even started seeing the primary care here (Dr Ferro) so I have all my needs available in one building, and I have to say he too is probably the most personable and attentive PCP I ve ever had.It s always clean and everyone has always been pleasant.Very little funding and care is allocated to health care in this awful country, in general, so this is of course going to be especially true for mental health services, which aren t taken as seriously by really anyone. It is because of this national systemic problem that I think someone may have struggles getting an appointment or finding the doctor who is right for them. The benefits of this field aren t grand, so I do truly believe the people working here are doing so because they are passionate about what they do. Some doctors are jerks (like my old psychiatrist), but please try to remember that the people here are also constantly being obstructed from providing full care by our privatized, for-profit health care system.

Slow service needs a solution

They are very professional people, and I'm thrilled with the care they have given me. The medical service that they have provided me with is the best.

The Purcell house is full of staff who truly care about your well-being

I was there back in 98-99 and really started working a program when my county decided that hey had Tx for me there and within 6 weeks I went back out, came back in again and again until mid 2002. I still remember my counselor at Purcell, Andrew saying that everything I lost due to alcohol and/or drugs will come back to me in a bigger, better form and he was so right! I am so happy to see Purcell House is still there-just not so happy why it needs to be! Thanks

Good spot to help you help yourself

They are alway helpful and alway work around my schedule with my kids.

So thankful they allowed us to use the faculties for our youth function.

I was looking for home, and I liked the comments left. This pastor is amazing. He uses the Bible and connects it to current events. My son was very excited to go to church. He would take notes and highlight what we learned for the day. Every single time we left, he would say how much he loved church. I felt very comfortable coming here. Very welcoming. I had to leave because of the timing of the church, and my car stopped working. I would recommend it to everyone.

The service at 9:30 offers inspired sermons that relate to current event. That's followed by life group where verses of bible are read and discussed. Both are excellent forums that enhance being in the spirit of Jesus.
