A Drug Rehab For Professionals

The Professionals group is dedicated to supporting young adults who are building their careers while recovering from substance use. The workplace environment, whether in-person, hybrid, or remote, is not always conducive to maintaining sobriety and can sometimes be hostile toward recovery. In this group, we focus on helping professionals stay committed to their recovery while also thriving in their careers.

Why Professionals Need Specialized Addiction Treatment

We are here for you

At the NY Center for Living, we recognize that addiction can affect anyone, regardless of their profession, success, or ambitions. That’s why we have developed a specialized rehabilitation program for professionals. This program is designed to help motivated individuals regain balance and purpose while respecting their privacy, careers, and dignity. Located in Midtown Manhattan, our non-profit treatment center provides a warm, discreet, and supportive environment where professionals can recover alongside peers who understand the unique challenges of high-pressure lifestyles.

Treatment Services for Professionals

Comprehensive Treatment in NYC
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist to explore the underlying causes of addiction, such as stress, burnout, perfectionism, or trauma.
Peer-based sessions that foster connection, support, and accountability. Many participants find it deeply healing to share experiences with other professionals who “get it.”
Addiction often affects relationships, and recovery can strengthen them. We offer family sessions and partner support groups to rebuild communication and trust.
Our Addiction and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists specialize in working with teenagers and young adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health problems. We provide comprehensive and coordinated psychiatric treatment, including medication management and medications for addiction treatment (MAT), when indicated.
Our clinical team helps coordinate care, track progress, and ensure you have the resources you need beyond the therapy room.
You’ll have access to ongoing encouragement from others in recovery — because connection is key to long-term success.
Recognizing the demands of modern professional life, the NY Center for Living offers virtual therapy options in addition to our in-person programs located in Midtown Manhattan. Our virtual sessions deliver the same evidence-based care and peer support in a flexible format, making them ideal for individuals with busy travel schedules or those who reside outside the city. Whether you participate in person, online, or through a hybrid approach, you will receive the same high level of care and connection that defines our program.

Working with Employers and Referral Partners

We often work with Professional Rehab Associates, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), healthcare providers, and workplace wellness teams to ensure our clients receive continuous care while maintaining their privacy.

Our case management team can help coordinate communication—only with your consent—to assist with medical leave, reintegration into the workplace, or compliance requirements. We prioritize your privacy and professional reputation at every step.

We offer education and consultation services for organizations aiming to better support employees facing substance use or mental health challenges. Our goal is to reduce stigma and promote early intervention.

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.
