A Structured Program of Self-discovery & Healing
Our treatment is trauma-focused, which means that we are sensitive to the trauma that people have experienced in their lives and believe that those experiences have impacted their lives and functioning.
Individual and group counseling is provided by our New York State-licensed program which includes Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselors. Psychiatric services are available for those in need during their inpatient stay.
To address the variety of needs presented by our residents, we also offer specialty groups including GED classes and women-specific programming and lectures.

Veterans & First Responders Addiction Treatment
Focused specifically on the needs of our veterans and first responders, the Col. C. David Merkel, MD Residential Program is OASAS licensed and open to all veterans and first responders regardless of their branch of service or discharge status.
“This place helped me immensely. The staff and environment was overall one of caring and people who want to genuinely help. Unlike most places, there are counselors to talk to if you need to at anytime. Some people might not realize how rare that is. This is a rehab, not a place for a vacation. They give you an individualized program and the opportunity to take the time to work on yourself. Every rehab will have a certain amount of "drama" because there are a bunch of people with addictions living together trying to learn to be clean and sober. The food was good, and we had time outside everyday. The rules are strict but fair, and they are there to benefit you in the long run.”
