Northwell Health System

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Mineola, 1.7 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Hempstead, 2.0 miles away.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Garden City.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Garden City often still has to be in person.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Garden City has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Garden City has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.

Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.
