They help you lay a strong foundation for recovery through tailored therapy and medication support when necessary. Silberstein Clinic is licensed by the OASAS.

Specialized services are available for people involved with the criminal justice system. This includes those on parole, probation and treatment court. They also offer court ordered DUI screening or assessment.

Personalized Care For Best Recovery

Everyone’s condition is unique and so is their path to recovery. The experts at Silberstein Clinic understand this clearly. That’s why, during intake, they conduct thorough clinical and medical assessments. This encompasses physical, psychiatric and psychosocial examination. This is geared towards understanding your history with drugs or alcohol, family history and your current physical & mental health. Based on this assessment, they’ll craft a personalized care plan that puts your overall health into consideration. This tailored care treatment and recovery plan guides your recovery journey.

Their therapeutic models mainly involve psychotherapy delivered in both group and individual settings. This is geared towards helping you process emotions, develop coping strategies and build resilience in recovery. Emphasis is placed on relapse prevention and psychiatric stabilization. Family involvement may also be provided upon request. The program also involves toxicology testing to monitor substance use, ensure treatment effectiveness and support accountability in recovery.

Medication Assisted Recovery and Psychiatric Support

The clinic also offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to address opioid use issues. This technique will be part of your tailored care plan if you’re dealing with, say, opioid use disorder and co-occurring depression. MAT uses FDA approved meds alongside counseling to deliver holistic healing. Silberstein Clinic has Suboxone, Sublocade, oral Naltrexone and Vivitrol available for their MAT. We like this comprehensive choice of meds as it ensures the med will be matched to your unique recovery needs.

When taken as prescribed, these medications can relieve painful withdrawal symptoms and curb physiological cravings. With the physical symptoms taken care of, you can then tackle the underlying psychological symptoms and build strong coping skills via therapy. This combined approach facilitates general wellness of the mind and body.

The clinic also provides psychiatric support in line with the integrated recovery approach for co-occurring disorders. This may include psychiatric evaluation and prescriptions of psychiatric meds if included in your care plan. Medication management services are also an integral component of the program. This guides you on taking your psychiatric meds properly, adjusting dosages and tracking any side effects.

The clinic also provides medical and primary care like routine checkups, chronic disease management and preventive screenings. Their wraparound services include case management as well. Your case manager coordinates care, offers advocacy and links you to community resources that support your recovery efforts. This may include affordable housing, job opportunities and educational assistance among others.
