About Hispanic Counseling Center
The Hispanic Counseling Center provides outpatient treatment for youths in Hempstead, New York. What instantly stood out to me is that they are one of the few agencies licensed by the state of New York to provide services in an entire bilingual setting.
Their substance use disorder outpatient program will have you in an environment that is filled with hope and encouragement. You are able to receive services if you’re struggling with addiction. I do like that your family is also able to receive counseling, as they can also be affected by your substance use.
Before being admitted into the program, they will have you take a substance use assessment. You will also have a health screening and a psychiatric evaluation. I do like that toxicology exams are also done. If for any reason they feel that your recovery will be most beneficial in another facility or an inpatient facility, you will be provided with information and a referral.
During your individual counseling sessions, you will be able to dive deep into past trauma, learn to identify your triggers and develop positive coping mechanisms. Your counselor will also help you develop your relapse prevention plan.
I like that with your group sessions, you will develop a sober network. You will be able to learn from your peers' experiences, as they will also learn from your experiences. Group sessions will help you feel like you are not alone on this recovery journey.
They do have a women’s group and an adolescent treatment group as well. I do like that they also offer a substance use disorder psychoeducational program.
