In addition, GCASA facilitates regular <strong>support groups for loved ones</strong>. </p> <p>According to its website, GCASA also offers <strong>medication-assisted treatment (MAT)</strong>, which utilizes evidence-based medications to help minimize the discomfort of opioid withdrawal and help curb cravings. According to a <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NY16.pdf" target="_blank">2016 SAHMSA survey</a>, GCASA is one of 11.2 percent of nationwide facilities to provide opioid-focused treatment programs. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Under the direction of the medical director, GCASA of Batavia employs an experienced staff of registered nurses and trained counselors.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni. However, the two individuals who left ratings on the GCASA's Facebook page, which the organization has the ability to manage, each awarded the center five out of five stars. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing provided moderately positive feedback. They both gave the center four or five out of five stars for the likelihood that they would recommend the facility. However, they did each give three-star ratings for the facility's level of family participation.</p> <p>“It helped my sister overcome her addiction,” one sibling wrote. Although offering a two-star rating for the staff's level of experience and training and criticizing group sessions, they added: “It was a good facility.” </p> <p>The other loved one gave four-star ratings for the staff's level of experience and training, discharge planning, and counseling options, noting that the facility’s staff was “very helpful and courteous.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs.
