Comprehensive medication assisted treatment is offered as part of the addiction services offered by Whitney Young Health’s Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Treatment Center in Albany, New York. They accept many insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid.
Credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselors, licensed social workers, mental health clinicians and psychiatrists are part of their skilled team. Doctors, care coordinators and peer support advocates provide behavioral therapies, counseling and medication as part of their approach. Effective treatment of substance use disorders is the goal of this whole person strategy.
To help people stop or cut back on their use of heroin and opioids they use buprenorphine, also referred to as Subutex or Suboxone. They prescribe naltrexone to treat alcohol use disorders and opioids. Naltrexone offers flexibility in recovery management because it can be given as an injectable medication (Vivitrol) or as a pill. Their opioid treatment program includes methadone to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin dependence.
I like how they integrate their substance abuse program with their larger community efforts. They tackle underlying contributors to drug use by improving access to basic necessities, such as food, primary care, and clothing. They offer transportation services and have a mobile clinic if need be. They’re also partnered with the National Health Service Corps for junior healthcare providers.
