Nassau University Medical Center East Meadow

At Nassau University Medical Center East Meadow, the clinical team addresses substance use disorders and mental health conditions together. The clinic builds a personalized plan around your diagnosis and specific needs so care matches your circumstances instead of a fixed template. That matters most when substance use overlaps with conditions like anger or chronic pain.

The work is practical. People develop tools they can use outside the clinic and practice them in a supportive setting that encourages honest relationships. This East Meadow clinic is an outpatient program within the NuHealth system and holds Joint Commission accreditation, which means it meets recognized standards for safety and care quality.

This location is not a residential rehab or detox facility. It is an outpatient clinic for continuing treatment, and a short 5-day program points to a focused evaluation or stabilization period. Should you need a higher level of care, like inpatient rehab or medical detox, the team can explain your options. Use the helpline to compare this center with other rehabs on Long Island and to learn what each level of care involves.

Program length and location

The program runs for about 5 days and is located at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow, NY. Services are offered in English. As an outpatient clinic, this East Meadow facility does not provide residential accommodations or amenities like those found in inpatient rehabs. The focus is on scheduled treatment sessions and building skills you can use in daily life. If you need a residential setting, then the helpline can help you find an inpatient rehab on Long Island instead.

Paying for treatment here in East Meadow

Self-payment rates are listed as one payment option. The available information doesn't detail insurance arrangements, so confirming coverage and pricing means contacting the center directly. During that call, ask which insurance plans they accept and whether a sliding fee scale is available. The helpline can help you check coverage and openings here or elsewhere, at no charge. If you have Medicaid, ask the facility directly whether it is covered before you decide on anything.
