About Never Alone – Adolescent Addiction Treatment Center
Teens experience a lot of changes that can be stressful and confusing. Unfortunately, sometimes this leads them to abuse drugs and alcohol. Located in Hurley, New York, Never Alone is ready to help your teen overcome substance abuse.
We’ve created a treatment facility designed specifically for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. Your loved one will get to be among peers their own age who are also recovering from addiction. They’ll be surrounded by the peaceful setting of nature in Upstate New York.
The maximum capacity at our camplike setting is 22 teens, which ensures your child will get all the attention they need. The core treatments that we provide to help with the recovery process include:
- Individual and group therapy: Solo sessions will help uncover the cause of their addiction, while group sessions offer the opportunity for encouragement from peers.
- Peer coaching: Advice from an individual who has been successful with recovery.
- Medication Management: Medicine to relieve withdrawal symptoms if needed.
Along with traditional treatments, we offer a broad range of holistic therapies to support the healing process. We use creative and expressive therapies such as meditation groups and guided journaling. We also incorporate fitness and outdoor activities through nature hikes, swimming, and nutrition and wellness coaching.
Additionally, your child will enjoy some fun in our social and recreational spaces. We have gaming rooms and outdoor long areas.
You also won’t have to worry about your child falling behind in school, as education will continue to be part of your teen’s daily schedule.

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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments

The residential rehab at Never Alone offers adolescents a camp-like environment where they can begin healing from addiction. They’ll stay in gender-specific housing and receive 24/7 support from staff who are specialized in adolescent care.
The 12 Step philosophy is a common tool utilized in AA, NA, and other addiction programs. Never Alone can incorporate this approach into your treatment. We may also advise you to participate in 12 Step meetings as a part of your ongoing recovery after you’ve completed residential treatment.
Treatments
Uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms can often follow when a teen stops alcohol use. Never Alone provides medication management services to help manage the discomfort. Teens will be able to focus on developing the relapse prevention tools they’ll learn in counseling.
Teens slowly lose themselves over time when they become addicted to drugs. At Never Alone, we understand the heartbreak and guilt you feel with trying to help your loved one. We will include you throughout the process as we use evidence based treatments to heal your child.
Mental health issues tend to occur alongside substance use. The staff members at Never Alone will treat common disorders such as anxiety, depression and trauma. Your loved one is treated with proven therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
Some of the different types of opioids that youth can become addicted to include heroin, oxycodone and codeine. Never Alone will help your child safely get through the withdrawal process so they can begin discovering the cause of their addiction and start healing.

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.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
The philosophy behind experiential therapy is that your behavior is guided by your perception. This therapy allows you to express yourself creatively, which reveals how you perceive events. Your therapist will guide you through the exploration of your emotions to release negative ones and experience positive ones.
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.
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.
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
In addiction treatment, recreational therapy focuses on engaging you in healthy activities to help reduce your cravings and improve your mental well being. You might engage in activities like cooking classes, hiking, group sports, or swimming as a constructive outlet for stress and emotions that help your recovery.
