About Carnegie Hill Institute (CHI New York)
Carnegie Hill CHI, one of the best inpatient treatment facilities in New York City, New York provides addiction treatment for adults. They have 40 years of experience of helping clients achieve recovery. Individual therapy, group therapy and medication assisted treatment are some of the services you can receive.
Withdrawal Management Through Proven Medications
Withdrawal symptoms such as nausea and muscle aches can sometimes cause clients to relapse. Carnegie Hill Institute offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help stabilize your symptoms so you can be more able to maintain your sobriety. The staff will evaluate your substance use and health history before deciding on the right medicine to prescribe.
You’ll have regular counseling appointments to discuss the underlying cause of your addiction. Your counselor will help you to develop relapse prevention strategies to support your longtime sobriety.
Treatment for Various Addictions
One thing I like about this location is the staff can treat a variety of different addictions that clients may be struggling with. You can seek care for addictions to alcohol and drugs, gambling, tobacco, illegal activities such as theft, and other behavioral issues. Treatment will involve short or long term therapy with multiple group sessions and varying intensities of individual counseling.
Group sessions can help you practice your communication skills as well as provide you insight from other people who are going through recovery. You’ll also be able to benefit from the encouragement and support of the group. One reviewer expressed that this location was one of the best recovery programs they’ve attended and that their counselor was very helpful.

And if there were anyone else I'd thank,besides the Lord,for seeking life' purpose,I thank the generosity of spirit and the way they come from love first and of in their successes at making sure I can regain the trust of others because they trust in me. And without gaining the trust of others,it takes away your will to live.

I've been a client at Carnegie Hill Institute for quite a number of years. I had been in treatment for years, and I can sincerely state that the treatment plans offered by the staff are the most effective that I have encountered so far.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Two outpatient programs operate from one building: an Opioid Treatment Program on the lower level and a Chemical Dependency Outpatient Program on the main floor, so participants live at home while attending scheduled counseling and medication visits.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
The counseling model at this clinic incorporates a 12-Step based treatment approach alongside its other therapeutic methods.
Brief intervention is among the treatment approaches this program uses, offering short, focused counseling sessions.
Treatments
Alcohol use is treated through the Chemical Dependency Outpatient Program on the main floor, where participants receive personalized group and individual counseling without needing inpatient admission.
Non-opioid substance use, including stimulants and cannabis, is addressed through personalized care plans that match each participant's goals and stage of recovery.
Participants with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are served through a dedicated program that addresses both conditions together.
The lower-level Opioid Treatment Program pairs medication-assisted treatment with regular individual counseling. Methadone and Suboxone are prescribed, with doses managed through scheduled morning medication visits.
One of New York City's original chemical dependency programs, the clinic treats substance use and DUI/DWI-related referrals through outpatient counseling, with self-help groups including men's and women's groups, anger management, and relapse prevention.
Programs
Treatment is designed for adults, with outpatient schedules that allow participants to keep work and family responsibilities while in care.
Young adults ages 18 to 35 are explicitly served, including transitional-age participants building early recovery.
A dedicated program serves LGBTQ participants with substance use and co-occurring concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the counseling approaches used at this clinic, helping participants change the thought patterns behind substance use.
Dialectical behavior therapy is available among the counseling approaches this program applies.
Group counseling sessions support participants at every stage of recovery, from building wellness strategies to navigating life in recovery, in both clinic programs.
Individual counseling is personalized to each participant's needs and goals, with varying intensity, and is paired with medication in the Opioid Treatment Program.
Motivational interviewing is among the evidence-based counseling approaches this program applies.
Trauma-related counseling helps participants process experiences that often sit behind substance use, and the program serves trauma survivors through a dedicated track.
Couples counseling is offered as part of the clinic's counseling services.
