About St Peters Addiction Recovery Center
St. Peter's Addiction Recovery Center in suburban Albany, New York offers inpatient and ambulatory detox services for adults. They also have stabilization services available. They accept walk-ins from 9am to 2pm.
They accept many forms of payment including government and private insurance plans. You can get financial assistance and get an estimate on out-of-pocket costs online. They can answer questions about signing up for the Affordable Care Act, Health Insurance Marketplace or Expanded Medicaid.
Their inpatient detox is a service for folks who need or want to go through withdrawal and stabilization in a secure facility. Admission begins in the emergency department at any St. Peter’s hospital. There, you’ll have a medical screening and a chemical dependency assessment.
Once you’re admitted, you’ll be given a bed and begin the process of detox. You may be given medications to ease your symptoms and promote recovery. The substances you’ve used and for how long will affect how long your stay is. Generally, people stay for 3-10 days but your situation could be different.
St. Peter's Addiction Recovery Center also provides ambulatory detox. This is an outpatient method of going through detox. It is safe for folks who are physically and mentally stable and have support at home. If you don’t have a long history of substance abuse or have only mild withdrawal symptoms, ambulatory detox may be right for you.
Generally, this level of care is right for those who don’t have complicated medical history or previous complicated detox experience. Clients need to be able to follow instructions and have transportation to get to the center. You can drop in during walk-in hours and get one dose of medication. You’ll also leave with a referral for beginning ambulatory detox the next business day. You’ll get the same comprehensive care as inpatient detox except you can sleep in the comfort of your own home.
