The Ulster
County Department of Mental Health (UCDMH) is designated under New York State
Mental Hygiene Law as the oversight body for publicly funded services to
mentally ill, chemically dependent and developmentally
disabled persons. In addition, the department is licensed by the New York State
Office of Mental Health to provide outpatient mental health treatment services
for children, families and adults. The mission of the department's clinical
service is to promote hope, recovery, and healthy development for people with
mental health and substance abuse problems so that they may achieve the best
quality of life possible. The department also contracts with not-for-profit
agencies for the provision of a variety of other mental health, drug and
alcohol services, as well as services for the mentally retarded and
developmentally disabled.
UCMHD
specializes in the provision of a comprehensive range of services for at-risk
populations, including seriously mentally ill adults, seriously emotionally
disturbed children, adolescents, young adults and adults with co-occurring
disorders. Services are provided to
individuals mandated into treatment by the courts. Due to financial support
from the State and County, the department is able to accept virtually all
methods of payment. Reasonable out-of-pocket fees are based on the individual's
or family's ability to pay.
A comprehensive
array of individual, group, and family therapy and intensive group services are
provided at the Kingston Clinic. Regional satellite clinics are located in
Highland and Ellenville, and a treatment unit for at-risk children is located
at the Ulster County Department of Social Services in Kingston
. Special groups are available. Care coordination services are provided in
accordance with the needs of the client. The department interfaces with town
courts and the Kingston City Court for the purpose of assisting persons to gain
prompt access to services.
Method of Payment: UCMHD accepts Medicaid,
Medicare, private third party insurance and out of pocket payments on a sliding
scale fee basis, in accordance with one's ability to pay.
