Albany County Dept of Mental Health

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Albany has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Albany does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Albany.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Albany has 8 other centers to ask.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Albany has the nearest beds, 2.0 miles away.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Albany often still has to be in person.

There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
