About Article 31 Mental Health Clinic

This Article 31 Mental Health Clinic operates in Oakdale, New York. It’s by the Locust Avenue Town Ballfield. The Article 31 clinics are licensed by New York operating under Article 31 regulations to provide outpatient mental health services across a range of diagnoses. It's a regulated clinic that's focused on providing accessible mental health care within New York state. The Family Residence and Essential Enterprises (FREE) clinic is licensed as an Article 31 outpatient mental health clinic in Oakdale.

They provide a variety of programs and services to traditionally underserved populations, including veteran services, crisis services, and nursing home transitions. Their behavioral health services program provides specialized, recovery oriented residential and outpatient treatment when you have severe or persistent mental health conditions. Your residential services program may include medication management, rehabilitation counseling, symptom management, and skill development in your substance abuse program.

They offer different residential programs including a generic community program that helps people function as independently as possible alongside specialized programs for young adults and those who have a history of chemical abuse.

The New York state certified Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) program helps you live independently while achieving a higher level of education and securing preferred housing. There are four components to the PROS program, which includes intensive rehabilitation that may be used for relapse prevention, treatment of dual diagnosis disorders, and family psychoeducation. They’re conveniently by the Islip Career Center and Learning Center, which can get you back on track to find work and build skills.

They also provide ongoing rehabilitation and support to help you manage your symptoms in the workplace. They provide PROS services for individuals 18 to 65 years in an outpatient program where you might attend from 1-5 days each week depending on your customized recovery plan.

If you’re 18 years or older with a primary diagnosis of severe and persistent mental illness, you're also eligible for crisis services in a hospital diversion strategy. These residential services are available if you are being discharged from an acute hospitalization and need more support than you can receive in an outpatient setting.

If nature helps you unwind and clear your mind, Article 31 is also across from the West Sayville National Wildlife Refuge. You can take a tour and get away from stress for a bit.

Article 31 clinics are a nonprofit organization that takes donations to help pay for services. They accept insurance and will work with you to ensure you receive the mental health care you need.
