About Phoenix House – The Edward D. Miller Center
The Phoenix House Edward D. Miller Center at Lake Ronkonkoma in Ronkonkoma, New York, is a CARF accredited residential treatment center. Most major insurance plans and credit cards are accepted.
This center has three programs: a men’s residential program, a women’s residential program and a specialized residential program for veterans. By offering these three programs, they are able to focus and address each group's individual needs. Some examples of what may be addressed are views on manhood, being a mother in residential treatment and rites of passage.
During the admissions process, you’ll undergo an assessment. This assessment will help staff take into account your social, biological and psychological factors when creating your tailored treatment plan.
I like that they have an integrated approach to their treatment services. They treat the whole person instead of just focusing on your alcohol or drug use.
What stood out to me is that they encourage you to participate in recreational activities. The recreational time will help you relax and connect with your peers. You are able to go on outdoor walks, attend sporting events, take a knitting class, garden and do yoga.
You will participate in group therapy sessions and attend seminars. Once a week you are going to meet with your counselor for individual counseling. During that time, you will go over your treatment plan. Case management and discharge planning are also offered.
If needed, they also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT). They provide buprenorphine and naltrexone. If you are taking methadone, they have partnered with local clinics so that you may still get your medication dose.
