St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center
About St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center
St. Peter’s Addiction Recovery Center (SPARC) is a leading provider of substance use treatment for people of all ages across New York’s Capital Region. Adults and younger individuals can receive confidential support for substance use issues at any of their eight locations in the area, including Rotterdam. The SPARC Rotterdam clinic is a few blocks from Grout Park and southwest of Central Park Rose Garden in Schenectady.
They’re especially known for keeping care affordable through Medicaid, Medicare and several major insurance plans. A sliding fee discount is available. They’re licensed by OASAS and accredited by The Joint Commission, reflecting a strong commitment to quality care.
Personalized Recovery with Medication Support
Substance use treatment at SPARC’s Rotterdam clinic starts with a full assessment and treatment planning. The clinic offers daytime intensive outpatient group therapy for people who need structure and flexibility in their programs. Day and evening outpatient therapy groups are available.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be part of your personalized care plan. MAT involves the prescription of FDA-approved medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and alleviate physiological cravings. The clinic also offers individual therapy and family supportive services.
We especially find their Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy (CRAFT) program compelling. CRAFT teaches families how to patiently support loved ones in recovery without fighting, guilt-tripping, or burning out themselves. SPARC’s Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program identifies those at risk for substance use issues and connects them to the right treatment. SPARC Rotterdam also provides court-ordered clinical assessment and treatment for DUI offenders.
