Northeast Career Planning at Unity House Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services

About Northeast Career Planning at Unity House Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services

Just north of the city of Albany is Menands, New York, a beautiful small town where Northeast Career Planning and Utility House has been serving the community for more than 60 years. They offer services like counseling, skills training, work tryouts, resume preparation, job placement and referral services. I really like their substance abuse program because they treat you on a one-to-one basis and schedule personalized programs.

Vocational Rehabilitation for Real-Life Skills

For individuals who have chemical dependency they offer vocational rehab services. This program can also assist in substance abuse recovery. Their services include job training, resume building and referrals for potential jobs. This stood out to me because after your recovery you can expect a lot of support to continue your road to sobriety.

The personalized recovery oriented services include wellness management, relapse prevention and more support for individuals who have co-occurring mental health disorders.

Community Ambassador Program

This service helps young adults aged 16 to 24 from Troy County learn new skills, training and an understanding of future jobs. This program also offers vocational services for individuals with mental health conditions and it focuses on competitive employment as a recovery goal.
