Addiction Treatment Programs

Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol rehab in New York helps clients find the motivation to make a change and gives them the tools to achieve long-term sobriety. Alcohol programs address the mental, emotional, and relational issues that may contribute to addiction. You’ll learn to build a new support network that supports your long-term sobriety.
Drug Rehab
Drug rehab in New York provides professional treatment to help clients overcome substance misuse and build a drug-free life. High-quality treatment lays a foundation for sobriety and helps prevent relapses by giving you new ways of thinking, better coping skills, and a better understanding of key life skills such as emotional regulation and communication.
Dual Diagnosis
People with a dual diagnosis may be using substances to self-medicate. A high-quality rehab in New York can address both issues and help you reach recovery. Along with traditional evidence-based substance use treatment, clients may receive mental health counseling, medication, peer support, and other tools to help them manage their mental health.
Opioid Addiction
A treatment program in New York can give you the tools and skills you need to overcome opioid addiction and reclaim your life. These treatment programs offer detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care. You may receive individual, group, and family counseling, peer support, and classes in essential life skills.
Men's Rehab
A men’s rehab in New York addresses the unique needs men have and allows them to build relationships in a gender-specific environment. Along with traditional evidence-based treatment, clients may receive education on topics relevant to men, such as fatherhood, healthy relationships, emotional vulnerability, and more.
Women's Rehab
Those who join a women’s rehab program in New York are given training in key life skills to help them address their unique challenges. Along with traditional evidence-based treatment, clients may receive help with childcare, classes in parenting, and advice about being a working mother and building healthy relationships.

Insurance Coverage

Medicaid
Paying for rehab in New York can be done in multiple ways, including using Medicaid if you qualify. Medicaid covers multiple levels of care, and you may have no out-of-pocket costs. However, you’ll need to choose a treatment center that accepts Medicaid.
Private insurance
There are many ways to pay for rehab in New York. One option is private insurance. Your insurance plan can pay for some or all of the costs of rehab, especially if you choose a center that’s in the plan’s network. Be sure to check with the insurer to get full details.
Self-pay options
There are many ways to pay for rehab in New York, including self-pay. When you pay yourself, you have maximum flexibility to choose the center you most prefer. You can write a check, get a medical loan from a bank or credit union, or send money electronically. The fee structure may vary depending on the level of care.
Sliding scale payment assistance
Finding a rehab in New York with a sliding scale payment plan can help make treatment more affordable. You qualify for a lower fee for detox, inpatient treatment, or outpatient care based on your income and family size.

Levels of Care

1
Outpatient Rehab
If you’ve recently finished a residential treatment program, participating in outpatient treatment in New York can help you reinforce and practice your new habits. Outpatient treatment includes multiple approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and holistic therapy options.

Therapies

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy in New York can provide professional support and accountability as you work through substance use treatment. Individual therapy is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, overcoming trauma, and creating a substance-free lifestyle.
Group Therapy
It’s easy to feel isolated when you battle addiction, but group therapy in New York can show you you’re not alone. Group therapy is a normal part of evidence-based treatment programs, and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. Topics include addiction education, sharing of experiences, and learning new skills.
Family Therapy
Many people have challenging family backgrounds, and addiction can create unhealthy dynamics as well. Family therapy in New York allows you to address these concerns. Some of the topics covered in family therapy include improving communication, developing healthy coping skills, avoiding codependency and enablement, and learning to support each other in healthy ways that foster recovery from addiction.
