Substance abuse is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of individuals and families across New York and beyond. Whether it involves alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs, substance abuse can interfere with a person’s ability to function, damage relationships, and severely impact overall well-being. At NY Mental Health Center, we understand the complexity of addiction—and we are here to help you break the cycle.
Our Approach to Substance Abuse Care
At NY Mental Health Center, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating substance abuse. Our team of expert psychiatrists and psychologists—each averaging 18 years of post-academic experience—collaborate closely to deliver gold-standard mental health care. Through this coordinated care model, we address not only the physical dependence, but also the underlying psychological, emotional, and behavioral contributors to substance use.
We begin by helping clients understand the factors driving their substance use—whether it's trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. From there, we develop tailored treatment plans that may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based modalities to address triggers and promote lasting behavioral change.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate, under the supervision of our board-certified psychiatrists.
- Supportive psychotherapy focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and rebuilding a stable, fulfilling life.
- Dual diagnosis treatment to support those managing co-occurring conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.
Our telehealth format makes it easy for individuals to access consistent, high-quality care from the comfort of their home—no matter where they are in New York State. We also proudly accept commercial insurance, helping to remove financial barriers and ensure that care remains within reach.
