Insight House Drug Abuse - Residential

Insight House is an adult addiction treatment center in Utica, New York. They provide comprehensive addiction care, psychiatric services, and dual diagnosis treatment.

Addiction and mental health-related services offered at Insight House are for adults and are delivered on an outpatient basis. The program involves the treatment of co-occurring disorders, clinical assessments and comprehensive treatment planning, integrated outpatient treatment programs, detox treatment, counseling, medication assisted treatment, trauma therapy, and support for those who have experienced domestic violence.

Biopsychosocial assessments help clinicians to determine whether a person demonstrates features of substance use disorders and/or co-occurring mental health conditions and their severity. Once the severity of the condition is determined, clinicians can then decide on the appropriate level of care and intervention required. Counseling therapies at Insight House include individual counseling, group therapy, suicide prevention, trauma therapy, motivational interviewing, behavior modification, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family counseling.

Individuals using alcohol and/or drugs regularly may have a physical dependence on a substance and experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop abruptly. Insight House supports patients in these circumstances through the process of recovery by first comfortably detoxifying and removing the substances from their bodies in conjunction with conducting medication assisted treatment. Patients are regularly monitored to ensure safety and correct dosage.

The outpatient clinic treats addiction and/or other co-occurring conditions. The program includes a thorough clinical assessment, individualized treatment planning, individual and group therapy, the opportunity to see a psychiatrist and receive medication management, relapse prevention techniques, skill building, and recovery support groups. Sessions are held several days per week, depending upon the individual’s circumstances.

Medication assisted treatment is the use of certain medications in combination with behavioral therapy, which reduce the risk of relapse and increase recovery longevity. The MAT program at Insight House includes counseling, support groups, and medication management in an outpatient setting. This program is appropriate for alcohol and substance use disorders and is available to adults. As program participants progress and stabilize, in person office appointments tend to become less frequent.

Insight House accepts Medicaid, state funding, private insurance plans, and self pay. There are sliding scale and financial assistance options available.
