About Allegany Council on Alc/Subst Abuse

Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, Inc. is a community addiction agency in Wellsville, New York, with a mission of helping people understand that alcohol, drug, and gambling addiction can be treated and that people struggling with them can get better. Their outpatient clinic is certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Support (OASAS) and accepts both self-referred and referred clients who meet admission criteria. They also run a medication-assisted treatment program, a 17-bed halfway house for adult men called Trapping Brook House, and a Scatter Site apartment program for people stepping down from residential care. Evening hours several days a week can make outpatient care easier to fit around work or family.

Outpatient care starts with an evaluation and a medical assessment, followed by individual and group counseling delivered by full-time counselors. Family members are included through child and family therapy and family intervention, and vocational and educational counseling, clinical consultation, and co-occurring services are also available. Their MAT program pairs medication with counseling and behavioral therapy, mainly for opioid addiction, and adjusts medication to each patient’s needs. For men who need more structure, Trapping Brook House offers supervised community living, and graduates of a halfway house or recovery home can then move into the Scatter Site apartments to keep building independence.
