St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center
About St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center
Men and women are admitted to St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center, and so are young adults. It’s an addiction recovery center in Schenectady, New York, and St. Peter’s Health Partners runs it under the short name SPARC. It treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions when they occur together, and it offers medication-assisted treatment with FDA-approved medications and counseling.
Outpatient Counseling in Rotterdam
SPARC’s outpatient counseling is at its clinic in Rotterdam. You go to Rotterdam for one-to-one sessions and for groups, and the therapy at that clinic is for substance use. The trip there and back takes time on both ends of the session, and you go home when it ends.
The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports and the state Office of Mental Health license the addiction services, and The Joint Commission accredits the center nationally. A certificate for the center expires on November 7, 2026.
