Our mission
We aim to improve the health of the communities we serve by providing compassionate, team-based care—including supportive behavioral interventions and medications—for those with substance use disorders. As part of the Department of Psychiatry and Department of Medicine, as well as a collaborator with other partners and affiliations, we actively participate in various training, education and research activities to reach this goal.
And because safety is always first, we follow strict COVID-19 protocols and offer remote telehealth access to our addiction treatment. Whether you are struggling with alcohol or drugs, or care for a loved one with an addiction, we’re here to help.
Northwell’s addiction services serve the eastern and western Long Island communities, as well as the New York City boroughs and Westchester.
Screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT)
We understand it can be challenging to navigate addiction care options. Help is available. Please call (516) 465-5955 to speak with one of our health coaches from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, for a free, confidential discussion.
