FLACRA – Farmington Outpatient Clinic

FLACRA Farmington Clinic (Finger Lakes Area Counseling and Recovery Agency) is located in Farmington, New York. They offer outpatient treatment to adolescents, children, adults, veterans and families who are struggling with substance abuse disorders. Their outpatient program provides a flexible schedule, allowing you to follow up on appointments, maintain employment, and still see your loved ones. They also offer flexible payment options with sliding scale fees.

They were established in 1973 as a not for profit organization designed to assist individuals who are struggling with co-occurring disorders, chemical dependency and other health conditions. They have a team of 500 clinicians throughout all their locations providing individualized care and high quality treatment.

The area where this clinic is located offers antique shops, an art gallery, parks and luxury spas. These offer great opportunities for you to prioritize self care and explore sober interests while in recovery. For example, between treatment sessions, you could take some time at the spa to decompress and engage in pain management.

During your time in treatment, FLACRA staff can assist you with developing a recovery plan. You’ll complete an evaluation so they can better identify your needs and areas you wish to work on. A therapist will work with you to develop your plan and determine what your weekly schedule will look like and what goals you will be working toward in treatment. This may include local recovery meetings and ways to maintain your sobriety.

Their individual counseling and group therapy provide a comfortable and safe atmosphere for you to be vulnerable, express emotions and vocalize issues you may be facing in recovery. They can incorporate holistic approaches that can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), traditional talk therapy and motivational interviewing.
