Integrated Outpatient Care

Helio Health Inc – Outpatient Clinic 2, located in downtown Utica, is part of Helio Health’s nonprofit network dedicated to integrated, whole-person recovery. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, it offers mental health and substance use treatment in one accessible setting. The clinic’s urban location makes it convenient for residents of the Mohawk Valley region seeking outpatient or step-down care with coordination across mental, physical, and social health needs.

Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)

The clinic combines therapy and medication-based care to support recovery from opioid and alcohol use disorders. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) include buprenorphine and naltrexone, as well as acamprosate and disulfiram for alcohol use disorder. These options are offered alongside counseling and psychiatric medication management to promote stability, reduce relapse risk, and support long-term recovery goals.

Intensive and Supportive Programs

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) helps people stabilize and rebuild their lives through structured therapy sessions, four hours per day, three days per week, with frequency tapering as milestones are achieved. The program’s focus on relapse prevention, trauma recovery, and social skills development helps clients regain confidence and daily balance. On-site lab testing, DWI and impaired driver assessments, telehealth services, and sign language support enhance accessibility. Recovery services extend beyond therapy, with case management, housing support, employment counseling, peer mentoring, and suicide prevention resources.

Accessible and Affordable Care

The Utica clinic offers extended hours plus daily walk-in assessments for convenience. Most private insurance, HMOs, Medicaid, and managed care plans in Oneida County are accepted. Discounts are available based on income and family size, and staff can assist with Marketplace enrollment. Medicare and Medicare Supplemental plans are not accepted for outpatient care. Aftercare services, including peer-led support and community resource referrals, help clients maintain stability and connection after treatment ends.
