About Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai – Mount Sinai West

Addiction is a biological illness and we can help. We can treat it to prevent relapse and improve your chances of a successful recovery. Our services include pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and group therapy. Our team consists of highly trained psychiatrists, psychologists, physician assistants, social workers, nurses, and counselors.  We take into account any other conditions you may have. And we work together to provide the best possible care for you. Our goal is to stabilize your condition. We treat your addiction as well as any associated medical and/or psychiatric problems. Also, we guide you to understand and accept your addiction and learn to remain abstinent. We make all treatment decisions, including type and frequency, based on your individual needs.

When we start treatment, we aim to:

Begin to develop the skills necessary to remain abstinent
Help you understand and accept your addiction
Stabilize you through aggressive treatment of the addiction and any associated medical and/or psychiatric problems

We usually start with detoxification. This process removes the addictive substances from your body. You might experience withdrawal symptoms. We treat any symptoms immediately.
Our state-of-the-art facilities let us offer a safe and humane environment for detoxification. This environment helps lessen the symptoms of withdrawal. The length of stay depends on the substance you are addicted to and your medical condition.
After detoxification, you will probably move on to inpatient rehabilitation (rehab). This approach gives you 24/7 safe and structured treatment. In this stage, you enjoy a routine that teaches you how to experience life without drugs or alcohol.
We believe family is essential to your recovery. Mending and building family relationships is key. And we encourage your family to be involved throughout treatment.
