About Conifer Park Inc MSW IP

Conifer Park is a private, inpatient addiction treatment center located at 79 Glenridge Road in Glenville, New York, with a tranquil setting that has supported recovery for adults across New York State for decades. The facility is employee-owned through an ESOP and built around a full continuum of care that begins with medically supervised detox and continues through inpatient rehabilitation, psychiatric services, activities and recreation, and outpatient programming at sister clinics across the state.

Clinical care is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, trauma-informed therapy, and 12-step facilitation. The team treats substance use disorders involving alcohol and drugs, with attention to co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan developed by a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurses, counselors, and psychiatric providers.

Conifer Park accepts most insurances, including Medicaid, and emphasizes accessibility for New Yorkers regardless of background. The facility is led in part by Dr. Richard E. Gold, D.O., who serves in a director capacity, alongside operational leaders Raven Wilson and Michael Kettle. Transportation is available to support admission to inpatient and detox services, and the setting itself, characterized by quiet grounds and structured daily routines, is intended to help patients focus fully on early recovery.

Aftercare and step-down planning are central to the Conifer Park model. The organization operates outpatient clinics in Troy, Syracuse, Schenectady, Plattsburgh, Glens Falls, and Rochester, allowing patients to continue care close to home after discharge.
