Dont believe this site. No gym, no walks in town, awful food, no public 12 step meetings. Your locked in the building 24/7. Not much different than county jail. Not to mention the director Greg tried to stick me by not getting my bus ticket to leave. My GF had to drive 4 hours to pick me up. A couple good counselors, especially Penny, but most if the time its 12 hours if watching the same redundant videos for classes.

This group was unable to successfully treat a relative.They let people walk out in the middle of winter in the evening without appropriate clothes, the jail-like atmosphere hides that its just voluntary therapy. No nighttime manager despite the large number of beds, which is worrisome.Allows parking on site, so constant temptation to drive into Utica and get drugs. A shuttle service to cars in a long term lot several miles away would be a better idea.

I would not recommend McPike ATC to those serious about receiving a sufficient and well rounded education in full recovery. Daily education and rehabilitation was extremely regimented however, patients were initially not given the tools to accomplish this - i.e. allowed an alarm clock to wake up at the sufficient times of early morning activities, an outlet for physical activity such as a gym or rudimentary exercise equipment, or given an initial formal orientation.If one didnt have an extreme sense of self-advocacy and awareness it was easy to get lost in the system. Further, although a dual diagnosis facility, McPike ATC still does not practice the widely accepted Dialectical Behavioral Therapy model of treatment and skills coaching. Moreover, it consist of a large variety of group meetings based on videos with an extreme focus on smoking and tobacco cessation.Focusing on such specifics and extremes undermines group therapy and ignores the critical cultural concept of distress outlined in the DSM 5 and multicultural influences on anxiety, stress and general co-morbidity that patients may be facing.The McPike ATC Addiction Center does not have the facility or ability to provide the level of individualized treatment required for those suffering from mental illness and addiction in my opinion.I witnessed individuals smoking in the bathrooms, having sex with those in the female and male ward, and escaping, from the complex and then returning again.In short, I feel that this is not a serious establishment for recovery and rehabilitation. There are many other facilities in Upstate New York that could offer a more meaningful experience for those in or seeking recovery.

When I went there for my alcohol addiction, the staff were very nice and experienced. They had a dual recovery program for people with addiction and mental health issues. They helped me through my challenges and I was able to get through the 30 days easily. I would recommend this rehab to others.
