We Serve Astoria

Astoria struggled heavily during the pandemic, with opioid related overdoses at a rate of 21 per 100,000 residents. While lower than other parts of New York City, over 80% of those overdoses involved fentanyl. Increasing these risks is the prevalence of mental health disorders, with 20% in New York noting that they have a mental health disorder every year and half of those beginning at age 14.

Finding the addiction treatment Astoria based can help anyone struggling with addiction, at risk of using street drugs laced with fentanyl, or trying to manage a mental health disorder without the right assistance. 

Astoria Rehab Assessments

We take our assessment process very seriously, working hard to ensure that each client has as thorough an assessment as possible to give them the best chance of successful recovery.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluation

At our Astoria rehab center, we know the importance of proper care starts with understanding what an individual is going through. Individuals who have not participated in any level of inpatient, PHP, or IOP service before can complete the psychiatric evaluation. 

This is a very important part of the assessment process, determining the correct level of care and, perhaps most importantly, whether any co-occurring mental health disorders exist. 

For example:

During the initial psychiatric evaluation it might be revealed that a client is struggling not only with substance abuse but with an underlying depressive disorder in which case the right level of care and treatment program can be curated to tackle both of those needs at the same time.

Without this initial evaluation, that same client might get treatment for addiction but not for the underlying depression making it more likely that depression symptoms lead to relapse down the line.

Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

Individuals who have participated in any level of inpatient, PHP, or therapeutic alliances with other providers might complete our comprehensive clinical assessment. This can help determine the right level of care, the primary substance use disorder, and any co-occurring disorders.

We work hard to ensure that all of these assessments both clinical and psychiatric, are conducted immediately. By expediting the assessment process, we ensure clients are quickly connected to the Astoria rehab treatment they need. 

Astoria Rehab Services​ and Therapy

When you start a treatment plan at our rehab center in Astoria, you will find individualized care, with a program based on your clinical assessment or psychiatric evaluation.

This typically includes a combination of social activities, peer support, group therapy, and individual therapy:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This is a very common and highly successful form of therapy that helps clients identify and change automatic negative thought patterns that negatively influence mood and behavior 
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): This is a common therapy for certain mental health disorders and addiction which teaches things like distress tolerance, learning to sit with uncomfortable things you cannot control without giving in to impulsivity, building better relationships, and being mindful 
• Motivational Interviewing (MI): This is a way to figure out what your personal motivation is for attending rehab Astoria based, and using that motivation to stay focused on sustainable change
• Exposure Therapy: This might be part of your program if you struggle with trauma or anxiety as it can create a safe environment in which to confront your triggers. Doing so makes it possible to reduce avoidance behaviors like turning to drugs and alcohol and build better self-esteem and better social skills 
• Wellness and Recovery Activities: These can include creative expression through improv, mindfulness, and community service–all there to support emotional and physical well-being

Our primary goal is building a recovery community, a network of mentors, clinicians, and peers who can help overcome the isolation commonly associated with addiction. With access to a combination of peer support, coaching services, wellness plans and evidence-based therapy, adults, young adults, and adolescents can find success in their recovery.

NYCFL Astoria Rehab Program​

At our New York rehab center Astoria​ residents will find support from start to finish. After completing an assessment, your intensive outpatient program or traditional outpatient program will provide access to individual and group therapy as well as peer support programs.

• Individual Therapy: We know that addiction rarely exists in a bubble and is often tied to underlying mental health conditions or undiagnosed or untreated trauma. That’s why our team incorporates one-on-one sessions. Here, clients can explore underlying causes of their substance use, anxiety, or depression.
• Group Therapy: Peer groups provide connection. They also ensure each client is held accountable. For young adults and teens, the shared understanding from other young adults in recovery can make all the difference in building community. 
• Family Support: We know that when parents and loved ones are actively involved in the recovery process, clients are more likely to complete their program. With our Parents Only sessions and family therapy, we give families education and therapy sessions that help rebuild trust, improve family dynamics, and provide a place to heal.
• Wellness & Recovery Activities: Self-care and overall wellness are the backbone of recovery and long term sobriety. That’s why clients participate in mindfulness practices, creative expression, and holistic exercises. Each of these encourage the development of goal settings, skill building, and healthy lifestyle habits.
• Case Management: Our team provides guidance for young adults on academic, professional, and personal goals. Each step is designed to help clients transition back to their independent lives after leaving our NYC rehab center Astoria. 

Whether you are looking for help as a teen or young adult, NYCFL can help.
