We Serve Chelsea

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has found that the broader Chelsea and Clinton UHF areas have overdose death rates around 253.5 per 100,000 residents. This indicates that the borough has a slightly lower rate compared to other boroughs, but that doesn’t mean that Chelsea is immune to serious issues relating to substance abuse, poor mental health, and unintentional overdoses.

Across the city, there have been over 3,000 overdose deaths in 2023, with fentanyl being present in over 80 percent of them. Latino and black New Yorkers have been disproportionately affected across Chelsea and other boroughs. All of these point to the need for reliable Chelsea rehab.

Why Choose Outpatient Chelsea Rehab

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, it’s important to find the right Chelsea rehab center and to turn to professionals for recovery.

While many people think that they can utilize an intensive residential program and then go back to their daily routine, there are several levels of care better designed to be used in a step-down approach.

Outpatient care, whether it’s traditional outpatient or an intensive outpatient program, represents two of the intermediary steps designed to help people transition into a new, sober life.

Flexibility

One of the biggest benefits of choosing an outpatient rehab center for your teen, or as a young adult or working professional, is the flexibility it provides.

Whether or not you have completed a residential program, outpatient programs can give you equal levels of support to help you maintain your daily routine.

Those who have to deal with school, fulfill family obligations, or maintain their employment can take advantage of outpatient programs that are typically scheduled in the evenings to accommodate these other obligations. This also makes it more accessible for anyone who can’t commit to a 24/7 residential program.

Real-World Application

Another of the biggest benefits to choosing an outpatient program in Chelsea is the immediate, real-world application you get for the skills that you acquire.

With outpatient programs, individuals have the opportunity to live within their daily environment, dealing with triggers like work pressure or social situations and learning to discuss them during therapy and build skills that help overcome them.

Where inpatient programs might teach skills in an exclusive environment, outpatient programs let you practice your new coping skills in your daily life, immediately using things like relapse prevention strategies and self-care.

Cost

Outpatient programs are often much less expensive because they don’t include the cost of room and board. Moreover, many insurance providers will cover outpatient programs even if they don’t cover inpatient programs. This lower upfront cost makes it possible for families and individuals to get the care they need.

Support Networks

Some of the best Chelsea rehab centers will offer support networks that are built into the outpatient program. This is perhaps one of the best benefits for many young adults and teens because it not only offers real-world application of skills but also involves peers and family members in the recovery process.

Studies indicate that when individuals have support from their families, or they have a supportive peer network, they are more likely to complete their treatment program successfully and maintain their sobriety long-term.

Our programs make it possible for family members to be incorporated into the therapeutic process and for each client to build a local network through peer recovery support groups and alumni programs. 

Starting Your Chelsea Rehab

When you are ready to get started with your Chelsea rehab program, rest assured that our top-notch admissions team is there to make the process as simple as possible.

Assessment

Everything starts with your initial assessment. When you reach out to our team, we will talk you through the levels of care that we offer and the therapies that we use. Depending on your circumstances, we might recommend that you continue with an evaluation to make sure that these programs are a good fit. 

We provide outpatient programs for teens with offerings up to 6 hours per week, intensive outpatient programs for young adults up to 9 hours per week, and an adult professionals program for those who are 25 or older in the form of virtual support.

Each program is slightly different, but every individual gets to work with a case manager throughout the process. 

Evaluation

The evaluation is basically a series of questions that helps us better get to know you, your history with substance abuse or any underlying mental health disorders, and your goals for recovery. The questions that we ask during this evaluation should be answered honestly and openly, as they are there to help us build an individualized treatment plan and nothing more.

Insurance Support

When you are ready to move forward, we can help you review your insurance, verifying the insurance benefits that can be applied to the cost of your treatment. All insurance providers are legally required by federal law to cover outpatient mental health treatment, including substance abuse. 

We will help you review what benefits can be applied, what it might cost out of pocket, and whether your insurance provider works with our team.

Program

Once you are ready, we will provide your customized program. Depending on your age, that might include partner, parent, or family support as well as peer recovery support. We will typically provide a weekly schedule with a set number of hours that incorporates individual and group therapy sessions as well as wellness and recovery activities.

As you move through your recommended program and come closer to successfully completing that program, we will help you build your recovery community and prepare you for continuing to participate in our alumni program, giving ongoing access to support long after you leave our facility.

Getting help for substance abuse or addiction and underlying mental health disorders doesn’t have to be difficult. With NY Center for Living we make it possible to receive Chelsea rehab in a flexible outpatient setting, with support from individual case managers, parents or partners, with ongoing support from our peer recovery program or alumni program.
