ALCOHOLISM/CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM

The A/CDP consists of three components: the Outpatient Clinic, the Inpatient Program (Partridge House), and a Prevention Program.  These Programs provide a variety of treatment opportunities and prevention activities for chemically dependent Native American adults and adolescents. Treatment and drug/alcohol educational services are also provided to family members whose lives have been impacted by the alcohol/drug use of a significant other.

Partridge House is a 16 bed Native American inpatient alcoholism/chemical dependency Rehabilitation facility located on the St. Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation in Hogansburg , New York . The Partridge House is funded by Indian Health Service and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.

Partridge House is licensed by the State of New York and has been in operation since 1983.

Partridge House treatment philosophy is based on the belief that Alcoholism/Chemical Dependency is a disease that is in epidemic proportions in Native American communities. Our specialized treatment approach includes the Minnesota Model (12 step facilitation), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy and Native American Culture & Spirituality.

The 56 to 70 day inpatient program at Partridge House approaches treatment holistically; this includes spiritual, emotional, psychological, mental, physical and cultural functioning. The Partridge House program is a starting point in the on-going process of recovery that leads to a happier and healthier lifestyle.

The Outpatient Program located in the Health Services Building provides information, drug and alcohol assessments, 6 month Outpatient Treatment, 4-Month Aftercare Services, 6 month Codependency Treatment, 10-Week Relapse Treatment, 8 week adult drug/alcohol Education Services, 8-Week Adolescent drug/alcohol Education Services, and a 5-Week Family drug/alcohol Education Series.  The Outpatient office also makes referrals to other agencies both inpatient and outpatient.

Community/School
Drug/Alcohol
Prevention Program

This program has enabled us to get out into the community to help educate our people on how drugs and alcohol have affected our lives.

Educational Presentations, Curriculum in Headstart through Grade 6, Prevention Activities, and Support are the main focus of this program.

The school Prevention/Intervention Program was designed to help our young Native people whose lives have been affected by drug and alcohol use.

This program provides opportunities for education, support, crisis intervention, and prevention in the school system.  Referrals to outpatient treatment or inpatient treatment are arranged as needed.

The counselors also work with other programs to help facilitate the best possible services for our future generations.
