Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services, Inc.

Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services is a nonprofit Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic in Hicksville, New York. They provide specialized mental health and substance use disorder treatment for residents of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Their outpatient services provide integrated care for children, adolescents and adults who have been impacted by mental health or substance use disorders. Their clinical team will work with individuals to create a treatment plan to meet their unique needs. This includes individual and group counseling and family therapy.

Additionally, they offer services for individuals who may need detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT) due to opioid, alcohol or benzodiazepine addiction. The use of FDA approved medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms often experienced in early recovery, not only makes the process less stressful by normalizing brain chemistry and stabilizing body functions. The use of MAT has been shown to reduce the risk of relapse and decrease the risk of overdose death.

The case management team will help individuals to get the additional supports they may need to support long term sobriety. This includes connecting people with community resources and help with understanding and navigating their health benefits. For current and former military members, their specially trained mental health professionals provide support and treatment that acknowledges the unique needs of veterans.

They accept most commercial insurance plans and accept Medicaid and Medicare. For individuals who cannot pay or are uninsured, they offer reduced fees for those who qualify.
