Questions people ask about New Choices Recovery Center

What treatment does New Choices Recovery Center offer?

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

Does New Choices Recovery Center offer a detox?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Schenectady, under a mile away.

Can you stay overnight at New Choices Recovery Center?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Schenectady.

Does New Choices Recovery Center treat teenagers?

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Schenectady has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Is New Choices Recovery Center an option for a veteran?

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Schenectady it may be mixed.

Are there free support meetings in Schenectady?

Schenectady has 15 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

What are the warning signs of a bad program?

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.
