The Riverhead location is an outpatient treatment program where care for mental health and for substance use is delivered together in one place. Therapy planned around the individual, counseling in groups, and medication management all happen within one coordinated program.

Substance use disorders are treated here together with mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction, and each person gets a plan that deals with both at the same time. Care is personalized and compassionate, centered on long-term recovery and general well-being.

Good to know

What is University Hospital/Stony Brook ELIH Riverhead?

This outpatient rehabilitation center appears on SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov and is among 83 facilities on Long Island. At its Riverhead location, substance use disorders are treated alongside mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction through individualized therapy, group counseling, and medication management. Joint Commission accreditation is held, and 30 days is the typical program length. At no cost and privately, with nothing to sign, a quick call can confirm open beds and what your plan covers.

Does this Riverhead center offer dual diagnosis care?

Yes. Substance use and mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction are handled in one coordinated plan, so both areas get attention together. The staff draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, family counseling medication assisted treatment and relapse prevention therapy. Program length is typically 30 days. Levels of care differ, so call to confirm that dual diagnosis needs can be met in an outpatient schedule that fits your week.

Is this an inpatient or outpatient rehab program?

Care is outpatient, so people come to sessions while living at home instead of staying overnight. Offerings include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, online therapy, and life skills work, followed by continuing care and support meetings. Should a clinician recommend residential care, other Long Island facilities may suit you better. The helpline can help you compare settings and check what is open.

How can I pay for treatment at this center?

Rates for cash payment are listed, and insurance may apply when the center accepts your plan. Before committing to anything, verify coverage and cost by phone with the center. Through the helpline, callers reach trained advisors who can help you ask about plans and availability; calling costs nothing, stays private, and obliges you to nothing. Ask for your share of the cost in writing.

How long does outpatient care usually last?

Program length is typically 30 days, though individual plans can vary according to what a clinician recommends. Continuing care, further outpatient treatment, and support meetings often follow outpatient care, so the schedule may extend beyond the first month. Ask the center how many times a week you would attend. If insurance or transportation limits your time, say so early so the plan reflects it.

Checking availability at Riverhead

If a family member is considering this Riverhead program, one phone call can answer the practical questions: current openings, whether your insurance is accepted, and what a typical week of outpatient sessions involves. Through the helpline, callers reach trained advisors; calling costs nothing, stays private, and does not commit you to enrolling. When comparing outpatient centers on Long Island, confirming these details by phone saves time and confusion.
