Staten Island University Hospital Staten Island

Here, adults dealing with a mental health condition together with a substance use disorder simultaneously are served, and the two are addressed together rather than one after the other. The clinical team builds an individual plan for each person, combining medication-assisted treatment with counseling so both the substance use and the co-occurring concern are handled. Support continues through outpatient visits, and staff aim to keep things steady and respectful throughout.

According to the clinic, its focus is dual diagnosis care, and medication-assisted treatment sits at the core of the plan. Care happens on an outpatient basis, so people attend scheduled sessions and go home afterward. When it helps, family members can take part in treatment, and therapy is offered in several languages for the Staten Island community the clinic serves.

Outpatient treatment options

Care here is outpatient, so a person attends scheduled visits rather than staying overnight, and co-occurring mental health treatment runs alongside the substance use work. Outpatient care in New York for adults with both a substance use and mental health diagnosis is the core of what this clinic offers. Medication-assisted treatment is listed among the approaches, along with individual counseling, group therapy and family therapy.

Counseling approaches here include motivational interviewing, help preventing relapse and therapy focused on trauma, along with support for practical life skills and online sessions for those who can't always come in person. Once treatment finishes, the record lists continuing care, outpatient follow-up, recovery coaching, job counseling and support meetings as next steps. Programs in Staten Island pairing medication-assisted treatment with relapse prevention counseling offer a routine people can come back to once the initial phase is over. If meeting online is your only realistic way to keep appointments, ask whether that still counts under the same plan.

Time in care, location and languages

The typical program length listed for this clinic is 30 days, delivered through outpatient visits rather than a residential stay. Care is provided on the island at 111 Water Street. Staff list Chinese, English, Mandarin and Spanish among the languages available, which matters for people who think and process emotion more clearly in their first language. New York rehabs that offer counseling in Mandarin, Spanish and English widen the pool of people who can be understood without an interpreter in the room. If a family member needs an interpreter for sessions, then confirm that before the first appointment.

Covering the cost at this clinic

Self-pay rates are the payment method shown in this clinic's SAMHSA record, so ask what you would owe out of pocket before your first appointment. That listing says nothing about insurance, so a phone call is the only dependable way to find out whether your plan is accepted. New York Medicaid rehab options and private insurance both hinge on what the facility is contracted for, so keep your card handy and ask straight out. Should it turn out your plan isn't taken, the helpline can suggest other listed programs. The helpline helps you find out what this center accepts, and it leaves the decision with you.

Worth asking before you agree to admit

1. Will my insurance or Medicaid cover outpatient appointments here, and how much would I owe on my own?
2. How are medication visits scheduled, and how often would I see a prescriber?
3. What does a 30-day program length mean when care is outpatient, and what comes after it finishes?
4. Can I be seen by a counselor who speaks Spanish, Mandarin or Chinese if that is my preference?
5. In what ways does the clinic coordinate care for a person who has a substance use disorder along with a mental health diagnosis?
6. If I miss a week of visits, then what happens to my place in the program and my medication schedule?
