About Long Island Consultation Center
Long Island Consultation Center (LICC) is a nonprofit organization in Elmhurst, New York, that provides addiction support and mental health services to individuals and families. The center has a wide array of staff trained in various subdisciplines of therapy and psychiatry, allowing them to offer individual, group, play, and family therapy. They also employ this expertise within their substance use disorder (SUD) program in a few unique ways.
Comprehensive and Tailored Outpatient Care
LICC’s policy is to treat addiction disorder like any other disease, with specialized care and medication (if necessary). Their goal is to strengthen their patients into resilient individuals who can participate fully in society.
They achieve this by assessing their patient’s individual needs and giving each patient a unique and structured (but flexible) array of programs. These programs include therapy sessions in one on one or group sessions, as well as therapy sessions that include the patient’s family in their recovery process. Because LICC is staffed by psychiatric professionals, they can also give medically assisted treatment.
Equipped to Help Families
A considerable part of LICC’s mental health service centers around helping couples and families with all kinds of mental health struggles. These same professionals work in the SUD program and are able to help teenagers as young as 13 (and their families) deal with addictions.
They will work to address any unique difficulties within the patient’s family while also giving their patient age appropriate assistance. Their offices are also set up to assist with any co occurring disorders their patients may have.

Our Methodology
Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatments
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
