About St. Joseph’s Hospital
St. Joseph's Hospital is a hospital based addiction treatment center in Elmira, New York offering inpatient substance use treatment through its New Dawn Inpatient Addiction Rehabilitation program.
They use a holistic and whole client approach that addresses the physical, psychological, and social needs of recovery.
Addiction Treatment With Therapeutic Lectures
Treatment begins with an assessment and I found they use ASAM criteria to determine the appropriate level of care, followed by medically monitored inpatient rehabilitation.
Because the program is integrated within a hospital campus it coordinates with Arnot Health's Behavioral Science Unit to support clients with co-occurring mental health needs.
Clients can expect counseling alongside therapeutic lectures and nutritional information, exercise, and Twelve Step participation through AA and NA.
I noted at discharge their continuing care planning coordinates follow-up appointments and referrals to community providers.
