Mission

Our treatment program is designed to provide a broad range of evidenced–based recovery oriented services to assist individuals with a substance abuse disorder or with co-occurring disorders. Our focus is to help individuals to develop their intrinsic motivation to achieve long-term recovery. We place specific emphasis on creating a climate of mutual respect and patience so that individuals can have a safe place to talk openly and honestly about themselves.

BCD is especially proud to have been selected by New York State to provide specific evidence-based treatment for adolescents and families through the NYS Focus on Youth and Family Project.  BCD is a licensed provider of The Seven Challenges® program which is a holistic counseling program designed to work with adolescents and young adults with problems associated with substance use disorder.  The goal of this program is to encourage positive change by using techniques that are conducive to helping our youth make healthier life decisions and support their commitment to change.

Counseling

Through comprehensive assessment and treatment planning, our clinical staff in the substance abuse program will educate and counsel each individual about risk factors and consequences of substance use. Our approach is to establish a collaborative partnership with our patients helping them to reinforce their own motivation to change. We utilize Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and Trauma Informed Care.

Psychiatry

Our psychiatrist in the substance abuse program is licensed and Board Certified in Addiction Medicine. He understands the complexities of our patients with substance use disorders and coordinates care with treating clinicians.

Groups

The groups in our Substance Abuse program are offered through a schedule that understands the needs of our patients to balance treatment and day to day obligations through an emphasis on development of more appropriate coping skills as well as relapse prevention.
