Beacon Center
About Beacon Center
You’ll find the Beacon Center’s location in Herkimer, New York. It’s a part time addiction treatment center on the corner of South Main and Mohawk Streets. They treat adults for substance use and the mental health disorders that often come with it, such as depression, anxiety, or post traumatic stress disorder. Their clinic hours are from 9 am to 8 pm, which is helpful for those with daytime work commitments.
You’ll be treated in a peaceful, clean and comfortable environment. Herkimer is known for clear quartz crystals known as Herkimer Diamonds. Crystals and diamonds form under pressure. Here, you’ll discover that the pressures you’ve been under haven’t broken you, but made your life beautiful as your counselor affirms your worth and restores your dignity. Their goal is to help you heal with the least amount of disruption to your life.
They offer medication assisted treatment to help wean substances out of your body. They provide buprenorphine and naltrexone, depending on the addiction and its severity.
As part of your treatment, you’ll get medication to take away uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings. As you start feeling better, you may want to find ways to boost your physical well-being. Herkimer offers fantastic outdoor exercise locations for hiking, biking and rock climbing. If you’re looking for something a little different, you can go boating along the Erie Canal.
The one thing that stands out to me is their Compass Program for those with a dual diagnosis. You’ll learn to recognize how substance use changes your emotions, affects your thoughts and warps your perceptions. Using chemicals can either hide the signs of mental health distress, or trigger mental health issues. They work with you to bring clarity and healing.
