About Richmond University Medical Center – Vanderbilt Avenue – Port Richmond

Richmond University Medical Center on Vanderbilt Avenue is a behavioral healthcare center out in Staten Island, New York. They offer limited addiction treatment services. It’s known for treating adult men and women, adolescents, and children.

Although there’s no official addiction treatment program at this center, you can still receive help with overcoming substance abuse. Depending on your exact needs, the center provides comprehensive treatment in outpatient and inpatient settings.

What I loved most about the center was that I received care from board-certified physicians, therapists, and substance abuse counselors who helped create an individualized treatment program. Their program took into account my mental health needs alongside my addiction recovery goals. That way, if my condition changes, they can adjust accordingly.

If you’re a parent, you can also seek addiction treatment for your child, adolescent, or teenager at this center if they are battling substance abuse addiction and co-occurring conditions. This is a unique service offering that many found to be beneficial.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

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 Adult Program

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.
