Families in Sheepshead Bay often start looking for care after a crisis, not before one, so the first thing to know is that help is close and the process starts with a single phone call to our inpatient addiction treatment center in Coney Island.
We combine medically supervised care with several kinds of therapy so that what happens in treatment actually matches what you need. If you're managing a substance use condition alongside a mental health condition, our team addresses both together rather than treating one and hoping the other resolves on its own.
How We Build Your Treatment Plan
Everyone who comes to Surfpoint Recovery for care starts from a different place, so our program for Sheepshead Bay residents is built around what brought you here, not a script everyone follows. Our clinical team combines several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, and adjusts the mix as your needs change during treatment. We work with you directly rather than at you, and that partnership is part of what makes the plan realistic to follow once you're home.
Treating Substance Use and Mental Health Together
Many people we treat from Sheepshead Bay are managing more than substance use alone. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions often show up alongside addiction, and treating only one side rarely holds.
Our dual diagnosis treatment program addresses both conditions during the same course of care, with a psychiatric evaluation completed within 24 hours of admission so the clinical team understands the full picture early. Recognizing how closely these conditions can be connected changes how we plan your care from the start.
Therapy Sessions Built Around You
No two people we treat need the same thing from therapy, so we don't run a single format for everyone. Your sessions are built around your history, what's worked before, and what hasn't. That can mean individual counseling, family sessions, or group work, often in combination, decided with you rather than for you. You'll work with named clinicians who explain what they're doing and why, not a rotating cast of unfamiliar staff.
Caring for Mind and Body Together
Recovery involves more than the physical side of substance use. We address the physical, emotional, and mental health pieces together, since leaving one untreated tends to undercut the others. Alongside clinical therapy, we offer practices like mindfulness, movement, and creative activities led by credentialed staff, built into how the week is structured rather than treated as an extra.
What Happens After You Leave
Treatment doesn't stop mattering the day you leave the building, which is why discharge planning starts on day one instead of during your last week with us. Depending on what you need, that plan can include continued medication-assisted treatment, counseling referrals, relapse prevention strategies, and connections to 12-step support through AA and NA. When you're ready to take the first step, you can start the admission process by phone, and our team will walk you through what comes next.
