Richmond University Medical Center – Family Health Center

Richmond University Medical Center’s Family Health Center is based in Staten Island, New York. They provide primary care to children and adults, which includes drug screening and substance abuse counseling. They also provide immunizations, wellness visits, and care management for chronic health conditions.

Although the Family Health Center is associated with Richmond University, you don’t need to be a part of the university to receive treatment. They offer sliding scale fees for anyone uninsured or underinsured.

Substance abuse screening helps identify anyone at risk of developing alcohol or substance dependencies. Screening also helps identify individuals who need help to recover from addiction, helping them find support and treatment as soon as possible.

Something great that they do is empower you to look after yourself with research backed and evidence based education. They believe that anyone has the ability to keep themselves healthy, they just lack knowledge and support.

In the case of substance abuse disorders, they’ll teach you about how drugs and alcohol impact your system in the short and long term. They’ll also explain why destructive behaviors can seem attractive, and give you the tools to manage yourself better in the future to remain sober.
