SAMHSA: Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month

January marks the launch of the first national Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, an initiative by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to raise awareness and support for those affected by substance use disorders.

This month-long observance aims to eliminate stigma, encourage treatment-seeking behavior, and promote best practices in substance use disorder care.

For the residents of Columbia County, CCMH stands as a vital local resource for those seeking support and treatment for substance abuse issues. We recognize that addiction is a community-wide challenge, impacting individuals of all ages and circumstances.

CCMH's Comprehensive Approach

CCMH offers a range of services tailored to meet diverse needs, and specific to your own situation and goals for recovery:

Outpatient Programs: These allow individuals to receive treatment while maintaining their daily routines. CCMH employs evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and peer-delivered services to promote positive outcomes.

Residential Treatment: For those requiring more intensive care, CCMH's Pathways facility provides a 24/7 staffed environment with a structured treatment regimen.

Accessibility: CCMH ensures that financial constraints do not hinder access to care. We offer a sliding fee schedule based on family size and income, ensuring that no one is denied services due to inability to pay.

Community-Centric Care

CCMH's commitment to community-based care is evident in our approach. We offer BHRN Services, which include peer outreach, low-barrier access to care, and harm reduction interventions like Naloxone distribution.

We strive to provide a welcoming environment for individuals contemplating or actively seeking treatment. We also recognize the impact of addiction on families, and we offer support for friends and family members of those with substance use conditions.

As we observe Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, it's crucial to remember that recovery is possible, and help is available to you anytime. CCMH stands ready to support Columbia County residents on their journey to recovery, embodying the spirit of this important observance.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, don't hesitate to reach out to CCMH. Remember, it's never too late to seek help and start on the path to recovery.
