Clinical & Therapeutic Addiction Treatment in Queens
Clients receiving therapy here will meet with a primary counselor at least once a week to go over their treatment plan and receive one-to-one therapy sessions. They can also attend weekly group therapy which covers a range of topics within a safe, mediated environment. Some of these topics include relapse prevention, coping skills and motivational enhancement. Gender-specific groups are also available. Therapy styles that may be used include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Clients are also encouraged to get involved with the center’s sober recreational activities as a way to relax and connect with their peers outside of organized therapy sessions. Some of the activities available here include a walking group, sports events, yoga, knitting classes, gardening and nature-based activities.
