Champlain Valley Family Center Recovery Campus

Champlain Valley Family Center offers both medical detox and residential treatment under one roof in Schuyler Falls, NY. For people beginning their recovery, medical detox provides the supervised withdrawal support needed to safely clear substances before engaging in longer-term work. Moving directly into residential treatment from detox — without a gap or transfer — keeps momentum intact at a time when consistency matters most.

Residential treatment at CVFC allows clients to focus entirely on recovery while living on-site, away from the environments and pressures that often fuel substance use. This level of care is appropriate for people who need more than outpatient support and are ready to commit to an immersive recovery program in Clinton County, NY.

Recovery does not end at discharge, and CVFC's model reflects that. The center connects clients leaving residential treatment to a peer engagement and recovery support program, pairing them with others who understand the challenges of early and ongoing recovery from the inside. This peer-to-peer element can be one of the most durable forms of support available after formal treatment ends.

CVFC also ties clients into a recovery community center — a physical space where people in recovery can gather, access resources, and maintain connection to a sober community. For the Sober Nation audience evaluating long-term recovery partners, this aftercare infrastructure is a meaningful differentiator from programs that offer strong treatment but limited follow-through.

CVFC serves men and women, veterans, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and people entering treatment through court-ordered referrals. Serving veterans alongside the general population reflects an understanding that military service can intersect with substance use and trauma in specific ways — and CVFC's confirmed treatment of Trauma and PTSD alongside addiction speaks directly to that overlap.

Court-ordered clients and those coming through the criminal justice system are also welcomed, which means CVFC works with people at different levels of readiness and arriving through different pathways. This breadth of population experience, combined with CBT-based therapy and trauma-informed care, shapes a treatment environment that does not expect a single profile of who needs help.

Champlain Valley Family Center accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, making residential treatment and medical detox financially accessible to a wide range of people in Clinton County and across the North Country region of New York. Medicaid and state insurance acceptance in particular lowers barriers for people who might otherwise delay or forgo treatment.

Prospective clients and family members can reach CVFC directly at (518) 561-8480 or by email at [email protected] to discuss insurance coverage, self-pay arrangements, and next steps for admission. The center operates Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 8 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
