ABOUT HARBOR VILLAGE TERRACE HOUSE

Located in Buffalo, N.Y., Harbor Village Terrace House is a service of Horizon Health Services, a regional treatment provider of Western New York. Harbor Village Terrace House provides crisis intervention and short-term stabilization services for adults struggling with chemical dependency. The goal of the Terrance House is to medically monitor the detoxification process and refer the individual to an appropriate treatment program to continue treatment.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Harbor Village Terrace House provides acute stabilization and short-term inpatient treatment for individuals dependent on opioids, alcohol, and/or benzodiazepines. Enrollment is available by appointment. Upon admission into the facility, clients undergo an initial substance abuse assessment, psychiatric evaluation, and medical examination. The goal of acute stabilization is to intervene during the crisis and stabilize the client, preventing the need for hospitalization. Typically, the length of the medical detoxification service lasts between four and seven days, though the length of treatment is determined by individual needs and the progress of the client.

To promote stabilization, the facility may combine evidence-based treatment approaches with medication management to minimize the discomfort of withdrawal. During the short-term program, the center may facilitate group and individual counseling sessions, as well as psychoeducational classes on improving communication skills, daily living skills, improving coping skills, substance abuse, relapse prevention, and setting boundaries. During the stabilization process, Harbor Village Terrace House may set daily client goals and utilizes positive reinforcement to help patients meet these goals.

Harbor Village Terrace House begins forming a discharge plan during the initial assessment. Horizon Health Services provides a range of specialized residential and outpatient programs that the client may be referred to. The organization offers specialized residential programs for military veterans and young adults, as well as gender-specific programming for women. In addition, Horizon Health Services offers outpatient-based programs and counseling and operates a wellness center to provide therapeutic recreation. Clients may be referred to a specific program that best serves their unique needs.
