Do You Have a Substance Use Disorder

Treatment depends on the severity of your substance use and the type of drug you use. We plan your treatment around your needs. While some people only need to see a counselor, others need medical treatment that requires a stay in the hospital or treatment center.

Alcohol Dependence

You might be dependent on alcohol if you:

Cannot quit drinking or control how much you drink
Drink in the morning, often being drunk for long periods of time
Drink alone
Need to drink more to get the same effect
Feel guilty after drinking
Have withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking. These include feeling sick to your stomach, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety
Spend a lot of time drinking and have given up other activities so you can drink
Have tried to quit drinking or to cut back the amount you drink but haven’t been able to
Hide your drinking
Don’t remember what you did while you were drinking

Prescription Drug Use

Some prescription drugs can be addictive, especially if they’re taken in a manner other than prescribed or by people without a prescription.

You may have a prescription drug use disorder if you:

Take higher doses than prescribed
Have excessive mood swings
Sleep more or less than usual
Experience poor decision-making
Seek prescriptions from more than one doctor
Seek out additional prescriptions, sometimes by “losing” prescriptions

Treatment Options

Our Pathways Program provides medication-assisted treatment for heroin or prescription drug use disorders. Medicines such as methadone, Vivitrol or Suboxone help control the withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or prescription drug use. When combined with counseling, medication-assisted treatment can help you manage your condition.

We provide inpatient treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders at Mount St. Mary’s Hospital and St. Joseph Campus. The Clearview Inpatient Rehabilitation Program is a confidential program dedicated to the holistic care of men and women whose lives have been affected by alcohol and/or drugs.

24-hour care and medical support will help keep the focus on recovery. Here, patients can remove themselves from negative environments and acquaintances. This can be the key to recovery as it allows them to remove themselves from triggers. Services also include:

Traditional recovery program, as well as non-traditional approaches to meet individual needs (may include methadone maintenance from our professionally trained and compassionate staff)
Specialized women’s and men’s programming, including services for pregnant women and help with domestic violence, trauma, and mental health issues
Pastoral and other spiritual guidance available

Clearview is a 28-day program, however, a patient’s stay may be shorter or longer depending on individual circumstances. Please call us for more information about this program at (716) 298-2115.

Having the right type of support system around you is critical on your path to recovery. Our substance use programs are tailored to the individual, with recommended treatment for your circumstances and the severity of your condition. We respect the person living with a chemical dependency by treating patients with compassion and observing their privacy.

Our STAR program offers outpatient drug and alcohol counseling.
