Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab and Mental Health Center in New York

With in-person and virtual options available, Hazelden Betty Ford's NYC outpatient drug rehab and mental health treatment programs can be accessed throughout New York state. The goal of outpatient rehab at our New York treatment center is to stabilize your health and empower you with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to reclaim your life from the grip of substance use and other mental health issues. 

When you take part in our outpatient programs, you will follow a personalized treatment plan that integrates educational and therapeutic sessions focused on your unique challenges around substance abuse. Outpatient drug rehab involves:

• Learning about drug addiction as a disease and the dynamics of rehab and recovery
• Gaining awareness about your behavioral health, mental health and treatment options
• Adapting healthy new practices into your daily routines
• Resuming professional, occupational or academic responsibilities and activities
• Developing and utilizing a sober support network

Intensive Outpatient Program

Our individually tailored virtual and in-person outpatient alcohol and drug rehab programs operate under the same evidence-based, Twelve Step principles and practices as our inpatient (residential) substance abuse treatment programs.

While your treatment plan will be focused to address your specific diagnosis and needs, it will incorporate the following core treatment program components:

• Group therapy
• Individual therapy
• Educational sessions
• Mental health services 
• Special-focus groups
• Twelve Step fellowship

If your diagnosis includes an opioid use disorder, our NYC treatment center offers a special-focus outpatient group to address specific recovery challenges.

For your convenience, intensive outpatient program options at Hazelden Betty Ford include morning and evening treatment sessions. Our New York City treatment center staff will also work with you to coordinate integrated services for co-occurring mental health disorders, as clinically indicated.

LGBTQIA+ Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program

Our clinicians are especially attuned to the addiction treatment needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. People who identify as LBGTQIA+ have higher substance use disorder rates than the population as a whole, largely due to trauma and stressors related to societal stigma. 

With an affirming, compassionate and inclusive approach, Hazelden Betty Ford's special-focus LGBTQIA+ addiction treatment services address issues that can interfere with addiction rehab and recovery. Treatment programming features alumni speaker meetings, which include members of the LGBTQIA+ community and are run by a licensed clinician who is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Low-Intensity Outpatient Program

Ideal for some patients who are new to treatment or for those who have progressed through an outpatient alcohol and drug rehab program, our low-intensity outpatient program guides you through counselor-facilitated group sessions. 

These outpatient treatment groups highlight addiction recovery principles and practices to help you restore your sense of trust, community, hope, and—most of all—belief in yourself and your well-being.

Virtual Outpatient Mental Health Treatment

Hazelden Betty Ford in New York also provides virtual outpatient mental health services. If you are struggling with mental health issues, our counseling professionals and therapists can help to determine the most-effective services for you. The first step is typically to schedule an assessment to identify any mental health conditions and develop a treatment plan to address your unique care needs.

• Trouble sleeping
• Excessive worry
• Trouble at work
• Trouble communicating with others

Many of our family services and resources are free and available virtually.
