About BestSelf Behavioral Health North Collins

BestSelf Behavioral Health’s North Collins Counseling Center is located in a semi-rural corner of North Collins, New York. They were established here 20 years ago and continue to provide treatment for adolescents, children, and adults who are struggling with substance abuse disorders and co-occurring conditions. You can benefit from their immediate access to same-day appointments, especially if you’re experiencing an emotional crisis or feel like your sobriety may be at risk.

I think it’s amazing that they offer a variety of options to cover treatment regardless of your current circumstances. They accept Medicaid and Medicare. If you’re concerned about the inability to receive treatment due to being uninsured or underinsured they offer sliding scale fees and accept credit and/or debit card payments.

While you’re receiving treatment, they offer a variety of services which include medical services, medication management, targeted case management, and peer support services. A great feature available is their interpretation services, which include bicultural and bilingual counselors who are available to assist you if you don’t speak English. This provides a safe outlet for you to express your feelings and challenges you are facing in your journey of recovery

What stands out to me the most is the high-quality care they provide especially during the beginning of your healing process when you may feel the most vulnerable. Adjusting to day to day life and prioritizing your recovery can feel exhausting when you experience withdrawals and cravings.

Their medication assisted treatment (MAT) utilizes medications to alleviate these effects due to chemical dependency combined with evidence-based therapies. They provide hassle-free access to receiving this within 24 to 28 hours by utilizing different forms of medication like Vivitrol, Suboxone, and methadone.

If outdoor excursions are possible, you might want to head over to local parks, like Franklin Gulf Park. You can hike, exercise, and otherwise clear your mind. There are several churches nearby if you need spiritual care.

Something else that caught my interest was their approach to providing multifaceted care. The struggle to find stability or balance when you’re being affected by symptoms related to mental health conditions can be overwhelming and can negatively impact your recovery. They treat conditions like depression, anxiety, and provide psychiatric services which include educational and vocational assistance.
