Seafield changed my life for good. I've been alcohol free for two and a half years now. After I finished their program, I told myself that there was no going back, and I have thrived. The best part about being sober is that my family and I have reunited and now every day is ...
About Seafield Center Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment
Their facilities are set on six pristine acres and include amenities like a beach volleyball court, a basketball court, a recreational room with foosball and ping pong tables and gorgeous gardens to walk through. They also have a laundry room and a gift shop which sells sweet treats and hygiene essentials.
They also have two in house chefs who prepare delicious and healthy meals, and a salad bar for you to fuel your body with. Because nutrition forms a huge part of keeping your body healthy, they also provide nutritional counseling services to those interested.
The weekly inpatient schedule includes daily 12 Step meetings, brain chemistry workshops and exercise sessions including yoga and Pilates. They also offer acupuncture, self help sessions, spiritually sessions and time for relaxing and recreation.
Something that stood out to me about Seafield Center is the fact that it’s owned by a veteran. They personally understand the complexity that comes with working through addiction or mental health concerns while being a veteran. This empathy informed the foundation of their veteran specific program. This program is designed for active and past military members and first responders.
After completing the inpatient treatment program, you might not feel fully ready to go back to your normal life. If this is the case, Seafield Center can transfer you to one of their 10 sober living homes. These provide a substance free environment just like the inpatient center, but have a slightly less structured program. They ease the transition back to regular life with extra support and community.

While in Seafield twice I met many amazing employees and many I already knew from being in recovery in the past, some when they were at their lowest even. I truly consider many employees there to be such beautiful people. The TAs are just out of this world incredible. The nursing staff was always nothing but there for me, the after care staff same thing. The specialty staff such as the recreational director, the counselors and just so many other staff members of Seafield made me feel nothing but love and care. They were comforting when I needed it, yet brutally honest when I needed that. Like I said I was in there twice recently, and obviously all staff was aware of this. The entire time through I was told that obviously they all hoped I would get this very hard thing called recovery BUT if I didn’t for whatever reason and ended up in a bad spot again (as many in fact most addicts don’t) to not hesitate to return before things get too far. And again, all staff was aware of me being there for the second time and aware of exactly when. They strongly strongly advised me of this, for many of the staff members like I said are in recovery and understand relapse and the difficulty of gaining that momentum, I had a close bond with so many of them too. Unfortunately I did relapse. I called Seafield before calling anywhere else seeing as I truly admired this program with all my heart. I was told that I could not return and upon confusion and pleading I was forwarded to the director named either Christine or Christina (I believe Christine), she spoke to me with absolutely zero emotion stating that I could not return due to being there twice within the times I was there. I begged and legitimately cried seeing as this is a fight for my life and I wanted the best shot at life possible which I saw Seafield as. She very coldly and with annoyed tone just kept repeating that I can’t return and I felt nothing but dismissal and like a lowlife piece of him on the bottom of her shoe. For a bit it really made my impression of the entire facility change, making me feel as if I was unwanted by the staff I felt so much love from. She obviously is not in recovery which I did say to her seeing as the entire basis of the program is to help an addict in need especially who is crying for help whenever possible. So my suggestions would be for Seafield to put a recovered addict in this position who understands the programs principles and follows them seeing as they are meant to be carried to all parts of a recovered addicts life and again it’s apparent she isn’t a recovered addict due to this sole principle not being a principle of hers. Also for the reason that she spoke to me as if I’m nothing both times I called to literally cry to her to let me in and help me truly gain my LIFE back (the second time with extreme annoyance right from the start of the call, basically the first time too to be honest. And if that suggestion is not taken then I’d suggest she makes the rest of the staff aware to not encourage the addicts in the Seafield program to return if they relapse aka lose their soul and possibly life again. Because I truly did believe that I could return based on being told this by legit tons of staff in all different positions (all having complete knowledge of exactly when I was there both times I was). They should be made aware to make sure that the struggling addicts all know they don’t have another chance with Seafield and will not be accepted again as per Christine. And if it’s a set in stone rule (which it’s not because I know other addicts who have pull with Seafield who have returned more than twice in a shorter span of time), make sure that no staff tells a single client that Seafield will always be there for them, because evidently they will not be. My outlook on Seafield was truly tarnished and something I once saw as a saving grace is now a dark thing to me. Luckily I am doing very well now and have began an art business that has began thriving immensely and I feel happy and god has granted me sobriety and physical possessions.❤️

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and your thoughtful feedback. It’s clear how much you valued the support and encouragement you received from many of the staff members, and your words about the care shown by the team, especially the TAs and nursing staff, mean a great deal. Your journey is important, and it’s understandable that you’d feel strongly about the guidance and boundaries you encountered. Hearing about the aspects of your stay that were meaningful, as well as the concerns you’ve raised, is truly valuable. Wishing you continued strength and success on your current path and with your art business.
Scheduled a phone interview on Thursday for 830am today on Monday. They called Friday to confirm for this morning and I said "yes." I have great insurance. No -call, no-show from Seafield. Looking at 1000 other rehabs I can go.

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.
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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
Levels of Care
Outpatient rehabs offer an intermediate level of care for clients who do not require the kind of intensive supervision and support an inpatient program typically provides. Many clients transition into outpatient care immediately after exiting inpatient treatment. Others enter outpatient programs upon completing detox. Some facilities offer ambulatory medical detox for clients who do not require hospitalization. Most outpatient rehabs offer a combination of services, including addiction counseling, life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Inpatient rehabs provide a space for clients to focus exclusively on their recovery while receiving intensive supervision and support. Inpatient treatment centers provide housing and food and most offer round-the-clock clinical care. Their primary treatment modalities typically consist of addiction counseling using various psychotherapeutic methods, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Many rehabs also provide specialized services for clients with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Recovery-focused life skills training and holistic therapies are other common services.
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 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).
Seafield provides safe, clean, supportive recovery housing for both men and women and for young men. Their recovery homes are designed to meet the needs of the residents residing there. Many clients self-pay for housing at rates that are extremely affordable, and their treatment at OASAS-licensed facilities is covered by their insurance.
A drug intervention in New York occurs when family members and friends lovingly confront someone with a substance use disorder. The goal of this confrontation is to motivate the person to seek treatment. Loved ones point out how the person's destructive behavior is affecting them in hopes that they will agree to get help. Most inpatient rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families walk through this process step by step.
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.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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 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 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.
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.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
During dialectical behavior therapy in New York, you and your therapist will look for triggers and patterns that are guiding your emotions. This involves keeping a diary of your emotions and situations and sharing this each week with the therapist. This information will determine what you work on in each session.
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 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.
You can participate in couples therapy to focus on a specific problem in your relationship or for general strengthening of the relationship. This therapy aims to help you improve communication, address conflict, and grow in affection for one another.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
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.
