Long Island Center for Recovery Inc - Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

Structured Inpatient Treatment in a Coastal Setting

Long Island Center for Recovery provides a peaceful, residential environment for adults seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The center’s calm, non-institutional setting encourages focus and emotional stability. On-site medical detox is available, and treatment days balance clinical therapy, holistic wellness practices, and restorative time to help clients rebuild confidence and routine.

Integrated Clinical and Holistic Care

The facility blends evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-specific counseling, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation with holistic practices like yoga, meditation, art and music therapy, Reiki, and equine therapy. Rapid Resolution Therapy® for trauma offers a unique approach to emotional healing, helping clients gain clarity and develop sustainable coping skills for long-term recovery.

Inclusive Specialty Programs

Programming supports connection and belonging through identity-based and professional groups. Specialized tracks are available for first responders, veterans, union and labor members, women, and LGBTQ+ clients. These programs provide relevant, affirming spaces to process shared experiences and strengthen personal growth. Family counseling and education help loved ones understand the recovery process and foster healthy communication.

Daily Living, Wellness, and Ongoing Support

Residential spaces include semi-private rooms, shared lounges, and tranquil outdoor areas with gardens, walking paths, and a fish pond. Meals are prepared by in-house chefs under dietitian guidance to restore nutrition and physical well-being. Clients participate in recreational and mindfulness-based activities that promote balance and self-awareness. Before discharge, each individual receives coordinated aftercare planning and relapse prevention education, ensuring a supportive transition toward lasting stability.
