2
Aftercare Support
In New York, aftercare allows you to access additional resources and support to help you avoid relapse after treatment. The end of treatment is far from the end of the story, so take advantage of aftercare resources such as sober living, 12-step and other support groups, peer coaching, and more.

Therapies

Creative Arts Therapy
Receiving creative arts therapy in New York helps you express deep-rooted emotions, process trauma, and learn how to create a better life for yourself. Creative arts therapy is a complement to traditional evidence-based treatment approaches, and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both.
Experiential Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in New York, nontraditional approaches can help you heal. Experiential therapy, which uses hands-on activities to work through emotions, is one example. Experiential therapy is commonly part of inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, addressing trauma, and managing substance use triggers.
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.
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.

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.
Recreational Therapy
In New York, recreational therapy helps you learn to manage stress, communicate, and ask for help. This can make it easier to reach long-term recovery. You may struggle to gain personal confidence or learn to trust others in a traditional setting. Recreational therapy gives you a fun, different environment and can help you breakthrough.
