Jewish Family Services – Manhattan Day Treatment

Jewish Family Services Manhattan Day Treatment offers a drug and alcohol rehab program in New York, New York. Treatment is for adults who suffer from substance or alcohol use disorder and have mental health issues at the same time. They accept private insurance and Medicaid and work with people of all income levels.

The day treatment program includes group and individual therapy. You may be treated with several different therapeutic methods. Their goal is to change the negative thinking patterns that lead to destructive behaviors. The therapists will often offer coping mechanisms for dealing with stressful situations.

I was impressed with the scope of their services. In addition to therapy they can provide medications to reduce the pain of detox. These medications can also help reduce your urge to misuse substances.

You’ll also take classes to develop life and vocational skills. They’ll teach you relapse prevention techniques and you’ll have lots of peer support when you come in for day treatment. Socializing with others who are going through the same thing you are is helpful. The staff can help you access housing, medical care and bus passes.
