About Citizen Advocates Crisis and Recovery Center Malone
Known as the Gateway to the Adirondack Park, Malone, New York is home to Citizen Advocates Crisis and Recovery Center Malone. Since 1975 this behavioral health urgent care center has provided crisis services for individuals needing immediate substance abuse or mental health disorder support. You can access outpatient detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Financial Assistance
One great thing that stood out to me is that they won’t deny you based on an inability to pay. They accept major insurers, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Medicare. You can work with their insurance specialist to explore your payment options. If you don’t have insurance then you may be eligible for a discounted sliding scale fee.
Medication Assisted Treatment
With MAT, you can tackle the physical and emotional symptoms of quitting substances at once. They prescribe FDA approved medications such as buprenorphine or Vivitrol to alleviate withdrawal symptoms that can hinder recovery.
You’ll also participate in proven therapeutic interventions including group and individual therapy, peer support, case management and more. These approaches can help you understand and address the underlying causes of addiction and develop coping skills to promote lasting recovery.
Voluntary Respite Stays
Another feature I noticed was that they offer voluntary respite stays. This can be beneficial if you need to step away from your everyday environment to stabilize your substance use or mental health symptoms. You can receive the appropriate level of support with no need for an appointment.
Care Coordination
I also think it’s beneficial that they provide care coordination. You’ll benefit from assistance with exploring the best services for your unique needs. Care coordinators can also help you develop skills to navigate resources and services independently.
Levels of Care
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
Detox Service Setting
-
Outpatient Detox
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
Programs
-
Adult (18+)
Adult programs address the substance use and life challenges specific to adults. Therapists can deliver sessions in individual, group and family settings. Services often include job support and life skills training in a structured environment.

Men
Men's programs address substance use while also considering the social pressures, family roles and mental health concerns that are specific to men. You’ll learn healthy coping mechanisms as you build emotional resilience and develop communication skills.
