Tracks for Teens and Adults
One feature I noticed is that teens and young adults have their own tracks at Beacon Center, and adults do too. There's also a track for trauma or chronic relapse, an LGBTQ group and services for people involved in the legal system.
The Compass Program treats substance use and mental health at the same time. If you're arranging care for a teenager, the teen track encourages families to take part too.
I also found that the Utica office will serve Oneida County and the area around it, with weekday hours from 5 am to 2 pm They accept most insurance plans, and private pay is an option if you're covering the cost yourself.
