About Helio Health Inc

Helio Health in Utica, NY, is part of a Central New York behavioral health organization that treats substance use and mental health disorders, including addiction to alcohol, opioids, cocaine, and other drugs, along with gambling and eating disorders. Their approach blends clinical treatment with person-centered support for individuals and their families. Services span medically supervised inpatient withdrawal management, outpatient mental health and substance use care, crisis services, and community-based recovery support. They also run a training institute that offers CASAC and CRPA curricula for people entering the field.

Their OASAS-certified withdrawal and stabilization programs provide round-the-clock medical and clinical staff for mild to moderate withdrawal, pairing medical care and rest with individual and group counseling over an average stay of four to six days. Pregnant individuals, people who inject drugs, and parents whose custody is at risk because of substance use receive priority placement. Through their Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model, they offer screening and diagnosis, primary care monitoring, case management, psychiatric rehabilitation, peer and family support, walk-in access, and 24-hour mobile crisis teams, with fees discounted by income so that no one is turned away for inability to pay. They also place clinicians in local high schools, where students can receive counseling, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and family therapy without leaving campus.
