Substance Use Therapies Offered
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy is a joint process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. People may seek therapy for help with issues that are hard to face alone. Individual therapy is also called therapy, psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counseling.
Therapy can help people overcome obstacles to their well-being. It can increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem. People in therapy can learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals. Many find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware. Some people even go to ongoing therapy for self-growth.

Hub and Spoke - A Comprehensive Approach
Under the Hub and Spoke model, Oneida Behavioral Health serves as the lead, or “Hub” agency, in cooperation with contracted providers that serve as the “Spokes,” providing additional support.
This program is focused on Medicaid-eligible youth and adults with severe substance abuse disorders who are at high-risk for chronic physical and mental health issues. It is the Hub’s role to provide access to specialized substance abuse programs and support, including assessments, medication-assisted treatment and ensuring that a person’s overall behavioral needs are met. The Spokes then provide additional support services and care management following assessment and stabilization.
This model shows great promise of making a true difference in the lives of those dealing with substance abuse, because the approach offers a coordinated and comprehensive array of services including:
- Care Management – individuals are identified for treatment, followed by initial assessment and development of a personalized plan of care.
- Care Coordination – the plan of care is implemented through referrals, coordination and follow-up with all providers and treatment operations.
- Transitional Care – assures smooth movement of individuals from one treatment setting to another; between health care providers and between levels of care.
- Connections to Community and Social Support Services – connecting the individual to medical, behavioral, educational, community and social support services is vital to ongoing recovery efforts.
- Health Promotion – healthy behaviors are modeled and encouraged, including self-management of health, mental health and addiction issues.
- Individual and Family Support – a strong support network is needed and encouraged on the road to recovery.
