Saint Josephs Medical Center Positive Directions

Saint Joseph's Medical Center Positive Directions, located in Yonkers, New York, is an outpatient provider. They help men, women, and adolescents who are struggling with substance use disorders (SUD).

What strikes us most about them is their inclusion of medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help you detox from substances safely and healthily. They are located in a beautiful medical building where you’ll have access to confidential rooms for counseling services and inviting spaces for group-based therapy. There are also welcoming areas for you and your family to relax in when preparing for treatment.

You can pay for your care with Medicaid. They also take many major commercial insurances. If you need some extra help, they offer compassionate sliding scale fees which can really come in handy for you if you don’t have insurance or if you’re experiencing financial difficulties. We like that their staff is available to assist you in getting your insurance verified and ready to go.

Things to Do in Downtown Yonkers

We like that the facility is in an ideal location, located in the heart of Yonkers, and very close to the Hudson River and the Yonkers Riverfront. For more outdoor enjoyment, you can visit Van Der Donck Park and Larkin Plaza, where there are places for walking where you can reflect on your recovery progress. You’ll be near the bus routes and the Yonkers train station to make things easy for you if you’re travelling from farther away. You’ll also have access to ample parking.

MAT and SUD Outpatient Services

They offer outpatient addiction treatment programs where you can start with an assessment then have access to counseling sessions, and specialized relapse prevention programs.

Their MAT program is offered if you experience addiction to opioids or alcohol, with treatments to help you abstain from substances or reduce harm, depending on what your personal needs are. The program even includes aftercare planning including crucial referrals to support you after you’ve formally completed your care.
