About Creedmoor Psychiatric Center

Located in Queens Village, New York, the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center offers both residential and outpatient treatment services for those struggling with a dual diagnosis (those struggling with a substance use disorder and mental health disorder, such as depression or anxiety, at the same time). Creedmoor is a short walk from Alley Pond Park, which offers acres of tranquil green spaces for calming reflection and soothing walks in nature.

Effective Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Inpatient services at Creedmoor are for clients with mental or behavioral issues that are so severe that they impact their ability to function in the community. The focus of inpatient treatment is the rapid reduction of symptoms and interventions that help clients develop skills to manage their symptoms and teach them ways to cope with their chemical dependency.

In addition to onsite treatment, clients have the opportunity to go offsite for recreational treatments and programs such as self-help, community living skills, adult education and employment training. I really like that there is also a space for art therapy, music therapy, a fitness center and game and recreation rooms so clients can learn the benefits of activities that don’t involve substances.

Multilingual Treatment Services

What stands out to me about Creedmoor Psychiatric Center is that they offer all their psychiatric services in multiple languages. They have speciality services for monolingual Korean and Chinese which is culturally competent and effective. They also have a monolingual ward for Spanish clients, which includes individual translations as needed during group and individual counseling sessions. This means that all clients who attend Creedmoor Psychiatric Center can fully understand and engage in the treatment they receive.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Gym

When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

A quality adult program in New York provides a combination of medical, mental, and emotional support to treat the whole individual. Various methods are used to help adults achieve and maintain sobriety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in New York emphasizes how thoughts affect mood. It is a goal-oriented method that teaches participants how to address dysfunctional thoughts and underlying beliefs that can lead to substance abuse and addiction.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

During elderly rehab in New York, you’ll participate in a variety of therapies, including individual, group, and family. Common methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step methods, and case management, all with a focus on age-specific needs.

Teen & Adolescent Program

While at a young adult program in New York, young people can participate in activities and therapy sessions that cater to their age bracket. They can also form relationships with other young adults for mutual support.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in New York can last 28 to 90 days, depending on the program. During that time, you’ll live at the rehab facility and receive various treatment methods including individual and group therapy.

Outpatient Rehab

For those who require accountability but less intensive oversight, outpatient rehab in New York is a good option. During this treatment, you meet regularly with a counselor and attend support group meetings, for accountability and encouragement. This may last for a few weeks or months, based on your recovery journey.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Mental health disorders that co-occur with substance abuse disorders often cause relapse. For successful recovery, both disorders must be treated, with dual diagnosis treatment in New York. Common methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication management, and counseling.
