Addiction Recovery Facility for South Salem Families
When a South Salem family reaches out, it is often a spouse or parent who has carried the worry alone for months and now wants a straight answer. Arms Acres is an addiction recovery facility on a 54-acre campus in Carmel, with 191 licensed inpatient beds and an intake line staffed around the clock at 888-227-4641. We have treated adults from across the New York area since March 1982.
Common Reasons South Salem Families Call Us
The calls Arms Acres receives about South Salem residents tend to follow a turning point. It might be a DUI stop on Route 35, a doctor's warning after routine bloodwork, or a family noticing that a grown child home for the summer is drinking far more than their friends. Other callers have tried to quit at home and found the shaking and sleepless nights too much to push through.
The Care South Salem Patients Often Start With
For many adults in northern Westchester, alcohol sits at the center of the problem, and alcohol withdrawal carries real medical risk, including seizures, when it is not managed. Patients from this area who are physically dependent begin with medically supervised detox, run around the clock by physicians, psychiatrists, and nurses, and typically last 5 to 10 days. Those who are clinically ready then move into residential rehabilitation, where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps them recognize the thoughts and situations that lead to a drink.
Working Around Privacy in a Small Hamlet
South Salem is the kind of place where neighbors share lake roads, school pickup lines and the same handful of shops, so privacy weighs heavily on families deciding what to do. Substance use treatment records at Arms Acres are protected under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, a federal law that limits disclosure without the patient's consent. Our campus in Putnam County also gives patients physical distance from the routines and familiar faces of daily life in Lewisboro.
What Working With Us Looks Like
An intake coordinator answers the phone, asks about the situation, and verifies insurance before anyone commits to anything. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major commercial plans. On arrival, a physician and clinical team complete an assessment and build an individualized plan, which can include Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), the use of FDA-approved medications combined with counseling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I call about my spouse without them on the line?
🗹 Yes. Family members contact our intake line to ask questions and verify coverage before talking with a loved one, and a call to 888-227-4641 does not commit anyone to admission.
Will anyone in Lewisboro find out about treatment?
🗹 Not from us. Federal confidentiality rules under 42 CFR Part 2 restrict how substance use records can be shared, and Arms Acres does not share patient information without consent, except where legally permitted or required.
