About Northern Rivers Behavioral Health Center Schenectady
Outpatient mental health treatment is offered at Northern Rivers Behavioral Health Center a treatment program in Schenectady, New York.
The NYS Office of Mental Health licenses the outpatient services. but I noticed this location doesn't offer co occurring substance use care (treatment for substance use and mental health together). That can make some people seek treatment at another facility.
Individual therapy and family therapy come from licensed clinicians and psychiatric consultation is available along with medication management.
Medicaid and Sliding Fees
If you're worried about paying, I found that Northern Rivers takes Medicaid and Child Health Plus. This can make treatment more affordable for people who otherwise not find care.
That acceptance doesn't promise a covered visit since the plan still decides what it pays. Most insurance is accepted too. If you don't have insurance a sliding fee scale is available.
