Substance Abuse Services

If you or someone you love is facing the challenges of substance use, you don’t have to face them alone. Addiction is not about weakness. It’s a medical condition. At WMCHealth, we treat it with the same compassion, dignity, and evidence-based care as any other illness.  

Every step toward recovery matters. Across the Hudson Valley, our specialized programs offer more than treatment. They offer a lifeline. From 24/7 medically supervised detox to long-term recovery services, we design care for every stage of recovery. You’ll find a respectful setting where progress begins and hope is always near. 

Substance Abuse Conditions Treated at WMCHealth
We treat a wide range of substance use disorders, including:
  • Alcohol use disorder
  • Opioid use disorder
  • Stimulant use disorder
  • Benzodiazepine dependence
  • Prescription drug misuse
  • Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
Substance Abuse Treatment Capabilities 
Your treatment plan may include inpatient care (where you stay at a treatment center) or outpatient care (where you return home after sessions). Care can also involve behavioral therapy, medical support, and long-term recovery services. These services address both the physical effects of substance use, and the emotional and social challenges of recovery. Depending on your goals and recovery stage, available services include:
  • Medical detox services
  • Outpatient counseling
  • Group therapy sessions
  • Peer recovery support services
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Dual diagnosis and behavioral health care

Our Approach to Recovery Services 

Recovery is more than treating symptoms. It’s about supporting the whole person and those connected to them. Our approach includes: 

  • Collaborative care: Primary care providers, behavioral health experts, and social support professionals work together to coordinate your treatment.  
  • Family involvement: Counseling, education, and outreach programs help families understand addiction and support their loved ones.  
  • Holistic support: Services address spiritual health, peer advocacy, and relapse prevention to build resilience and long-term stability.  
  • Community connections: Our team links you to outpatient resources, case management, and community-based Stabilization Centers. These programs operate 24/7 and provide crisis counseling, withdrawal support, and peer advocacy. 

Innovations in Recovery Support

At WMCHealth, patients benefit from next-generation approaches to addiction care. We use: 

  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT): Proven therapies that combine counseling and medications to support recovery and reduce relapse risk. 
  • Dual diagnosis care: Integrated treatment that addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. 
  • Individualized pharmacologic support: Tailored medications that ease withdrawal symptoms and support safe, effective detox. 

These innovations give you more effective treatment options, better access to care, and stronger support for lasting recovery.
