About Bleuler Psychotherapy Center – Flushing
Bleuler Psychotherapy Center provides mental health and substance use services for children, teens, adults, and families in Forest Hills, New York. They offer outpatient programs that incorporate counseling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, medication assisted treatment, and group therapy. They’re in network with most commercial insurance plans and you can also pay privately.
I like that their counseling services include an educational element to help you learn more about the risks and consequences of substance abuse. Their goal is to inform and equip you enough that you’re motivated to change on your own. In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, they also utilize motivational interviewing.
Once you’ve completed your treatment, you can participate in their long term continuing care program. This gives you access to ongoing clinical support that can help you sustain your recovery progress. You’ll check in regularly with your assigned counselor to talk about issues you’re facing and find tools to cope with stress, triggers, and cravings without turning to drugs and alcohol.
If you need medication to help treat your addiction and prevent an overdose, your providers may offer it in addition to your counseling treatment. At this center, they use buprenorphine and Vivitrol to help manage pain and prevent relapse.
While many clients say they’ve connected well with their therapists and have experienced success in the program, others haven’t had the same experience. Scheduling conflicts and communication issues are some of the commonly reported problems.
