Questions people ask about Central Nassau Guidance Srvs
What programs does Central Nassau Guidance Srvs offer?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Bethpage, under a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Can you detox at Central Nassau Guidance Srvs?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Hicksville that do it.
Can you stay overnight at Central Nassau Guidance Srvs?
Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.5 miles away in East Meadow.
Does Central Nassau Guidance Srvs have a program for veterans?
They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Hicksville it may be mixed.

Is Central Nassau Guidance Srvs an option for someone under 18?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Hicksville is worth confirming before you drive over.
What happens after a program ends?
There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Ask whether the aftercare is run by the program or handed to somebody else.
How many weeks is a program?
Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
