Teens & Adolescents

Our Teen and Adolescents Programs provide a well-rounded treatment experience and peer community. We work around your schedule. Not to the exclusion of rigor and discipline. But with the understanding that life and healing go hand in glove. Our techniques are toolkits really. They’re designed to help you reconnect with who you want to be.

When people come here, they're often afflicted by a too always-on world. This is a quiet place. A welcoming place.

We are here for you

At the NY Center for Living, we believe that recovery continues beyond therapy sessions. We are dedicated to helping teens and families stay connected through our alumni program, peer support network, and community-building events.

We understand that recovery is more effective when shared with others. Our teens often share that the friendships and connections they develop here provide a strong foundation for their ongoing sobriety. Through various alumni activities, mentoring, and regular check-ins, our community ensures that every young person feels supported and knows they are never alone in their recovery journey.

Insurance Support

At the NY Center for Living we operate as an out-of-network provider. We support families by providing monthly Superbills so that they you can submit claims for reimbursement. We also work with SJ Insurance Advocates who can assist you with this process. Click here for more information and a link for SJ Associates.

Let's get there together.

Helping Adolescents Break Free from Nicotine and Substance Use

Comprehensive Support for Teen Nicotine and Substance Recovery

Nicotine Cessation

Additionally, NYCFL seeks to critically address the use of nicotine products by adolescents. Our psychiatrists can prescribe nicotine cessation products, including patches and lozenges, with the goal of eliminating nicotine use or, as we like to say, nip it in the bud!

Drug Testing

New York Center for Living provides urine drug screening and utilizes labs for confirmatory testing to provide an objective measure of substance use and ensure adolescents in both intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP) treatment are working towards the goal of sobriety and recovery.
