Nassau University Medical Center reports offering Inpatient, Residential and Detox care. Its medical detox covers alcohol detoxification, benzodiazepines detoxification, opioids detoxification and medication routinely used during detoxification. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.
Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, community reinforcement plus vouchers, motivational interviewing and matrix model. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.
