About Ellis Medicine State Street Mental Health Center
Ellis Medicine State Street Mental Health Center is a full service medical facility that also offers comprehensive mental health services, including inpatient and outpatient treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Ellis Medicine is on State Street in Schenectady, New York. They treat children, teens and adults. The facility accepts many types of insurance including Medicaid.
The Living Room for Adult Crisis Situations
One of the most interesting services I saw at Ellis Medicine is The Living Room. The Living Room is in the State Street location and provides an alternative to the emergency room for clients in crisis. Staff at The Living Room include a peer specialist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a care manager. The program serves adults 18 and older.
The Living Room is open during the day Monday through Friday. Clients can drop in and receive an assessment. The staff offers services for substance use and mental health treatment. They offer additional help via housing support, physical healthcare and care management services. Each client receives service according to his or her most pressing needs.
The Family Room for Kids in Mental Health Crisis
The Family Room is similar to The Living Room but serves children and teens ages 10-17. Youth and teens can come on a walk in basis instead of going to the emergency room and receive immediate mental health crisis care. A parent isn’t required, and youth have access to social support, counseling, case management and medical referrals. If a client brings a parent or other family member, they’ll be encouraged to participate in the client’s care.
PROS in Schenectady, NY
The facility offers a wide range of services, including personalized recovery oriented services (PROS). PROS is an outpatient program that assists adults 18 and over in achieving personal goals that have been difficult to reach due to mental health challenges.
Clients receive coordinated care through the outpatient mental health clinic. Staff use social support networks and community resources to address healthcare, transportation, housing and other needs.

This may last for a few weeks or months, based on your recovery journey.Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health
