About Mountainside Treatment Center – NYC

Mountainside Treatment Center is a luxury outpatient recovery facility in the beautiful Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, New York. They help adults and adolescents overcome substance misuse and co-occurring disorders. The facility boasts a welcoming space and a close knit sober community. There are plenty of resources to guide your recovery journey.

Their program includes intensive and general outpatient care, medication assisted treatment (MAT) and recovery coaching. I like that they offer telehealth support. This lets you receive life saving addiction therapy from the comfort of your home.

They offer specialized services for young college-aged adults. This focuses on maintaining recovery while navigating social and school environments where substance use might be common. They’re also LGBTQ+ friendly and provide supportive and affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals. They even offer specialized therapeutic support to professionals and business executives. Their adolescent service equips teens with the tools to handle peer pressure, resolve internal conflicts and manage academic demands without ‘using.’

Their intensive outpatient program is suitable if you’re at an early recovery stage. It is a seven week program involving 24 intensive therapy sessions. The focus is on easing withdrawal symptoms, identifying triggers and building strong coping skills. You’ll participate in individual sessions with a skilled therapist to address personal challenges. Their therapy group covers positive communication, life management and relapse prevention. Group therapy gives you fresh perspectives and lets you learn from others’ experiences as you tackle common recovery challenges.

Family counseling and wellness is an integral component of this program. This equips your family with the knowledge and tools necessary to overcome the impact of your substance misuse on the whole family. It helps rebuild trust, mend relationships and improve communication with your loved ones. This promotes positive family dynamics which strengthen your support network.

They’ll incorporate medication assisted treatment in your personalized treatment plans if you’re dealing with opioid misuse or alcoholism. The technique uses meds approved by the FDA to reduce withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings. Their MAT program uses Suboxone, Sublocade and Vivitrol as risk reduction meds to support clinical therapy. The facility also offers MAT as a standalone evidence based therapeutic intervention. Their integrated treatment for co-occurring conditions includes psychiatric evaluation and medication management alongside addiction therapy.

The outpatient program is a less structured 10-week program. It focuses on rebuilding trust, developing healthy relationships and establishing a sober network. You’ll participate in evidence based group and individual sessions to uncover the root causes of your addiction and build relapse prevention skills. Some clinical groups in this program include recovery maintenance, women’s empowerment and integrated healing.

The facility offers ongoing care and aftercare support. This includes access to community resources including educational workshops, peer support groups and wellness classes/sober events.

Mountainside Treatment Center is doubly accredited by CARF and The Joint Commission. They’re also certified by LegitScript and ASAM.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. In the heart of New York City, Mountainside offers a resource center for individuals seeking recovery support while living or working in and around the city. Their Mountainside New York City location provides information about all their alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs, hosts workshops and gatherings for alumni, and offers tranquil meeting spaces for Recovery Coaching clients.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients who enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) are typically either in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that increases their relapse risk. These programs promote clients' sustained sobriety through robust support, including multiple, extended care sessions per week. Intensive outpatient treatment often encompasses an array of services, including psychotherapy, recovery education, and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and meditation. Many outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients in rehab aftercare programs receive a customized portfolio of services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. These clients have completed high-level treatment, are typically exiting detox and/or intensive inpatient care and are reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services address addiction disease as a chronic condition requiring continuing care. Clients typically work with case managers and recovery teams to access necessary resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction support.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
The partial hospitalization program (PHP) level of care offers short-term, intensive rehab for individuals with acute symptoms that require focused management but don't require 24/7 care. PHP treatment provides structured programming (i.e. individual and group therapy) and allows you to return home in the evening. PHP treatment typically meets weekly for a minimum of 20 hours with the duration typically averaging 90 days. While PHP treatment cost can vary, it is often covered by most providers.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
For many different stages and therapies offered during addiction treatment, it's essential to offer 24-hour clinical care in New York. often involves medication treatment for drug or alcohol detox. The withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox can be dangerous, but having medical experts on-site around the clock means someone is always there to step in and provide emergency medical care when and if it is ever needed.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Medical detox involves weaning your body off of addictive substances in a medically supervised environment. If you've become dependent on alcohol and/or drugs, quitting on your own can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. In medically assisted detox, a team of licensed medical professionals will help manage potential withdrawal symptoms, ensuring that you're as safe and comfortable as possible. This process typically takes about 5-7 days, although the length will depend on your individual needs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma therapy involves working through the psychological and emotional impact of a traumatic event. You learn to identify the triggers and develop coping mechanisms that build a sense of safety and trust in yourself.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

As you recover from addiction, eating the right foods will help you heal and build your health for long term sobriety. Nutrition therapy teaches you about the nutrition your body needs and how to eat the right foods to support your recovery.

When recovering from addiction, it can be difficult to find the words to express your emotions and thoughts. Creative arts therapy in New York gives you a way to express yourself beyond words. Options include sculpting, music, drawing, dance, and drama.

My son was fortunate to have Travis Alfonso as his recovery coach upon discharge from Mountainside Canaan Extended Care Program. He returned to live in Brooklyn and met with Travis as he continued his recovery journey. Travis has been there for my son and our family through the ups and downs of the recovery process. Just this week Travis, as a sober companion, accompanied our son to a sober living program in Carbondale Colorado. I don’t know what we would have done without Travis’s support and guidance. I would definitely recommend Travis Alfonso as a recovery coach and sober travel companion!

I advise anyone to read this before attending Mountainside . When you are being admitted you are required to sign every document possible and are assured your privacy rights are being honored. However I had an incident where my privacy rights were blatantly violated. I had reported this and was essentially ignored . It is unbelievable that a company of this size can let a patients privacy be ignored . Please make sure you are aware of this before being admitted

I was fortunate to have an amazing recovery coach through Mountainside, Travis Alfonso! He was a huge support in my early recovery. I could go to him with anything. He checked in frequently and we always had great sessions. He's what I'll miss most after moving on from Mountainside. Highly recommend working with him, especially if you're just starting your recovery journey. He always keeps it real and meets you on your level. Thanks for everything, Travis!
