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.
Levels of Care
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
