Licensed Addiction Treatment Center in Carmel Hills, NY
Your drinking started as happy hour with coworkers. Or maybe those pain pills from your back surgery worked so well you kept refilling them. Whatever brought you here, you're not the first person from Carmel Hills to walk through our doors wondering how things got this bad.
We've been helping people get clean since 1982, and we know that addiction doesn't pick favorites. Rich or poor, young or old - it hits everyone the same way. Our trusted physical rehab programs give you the medical backup and real-world tools you need to quit for good.
Getting Through Detox Safely
Quitting cold turkey can kill you. That's not scare tactics - that's medical fact. Arms Acres has doctors and nurses on duty around the clock because alcohol and benzo withdrawal can cause seizures or heart problems.
We've seen too many people try to detox at home and end up in the ER. Our medical team knows exactly what medications to use and when to use them. You'll be uncomfortable for a few days, but you won't be in danger. That's worth something when your body is screaming for whatever you've been using.
Fixing More Than Just the Addiction
Most people who drink too much or abuse pills are self-medicating something else. Maybe you've been depressed since your divorce. Maybe you started using because you can't sleep after what happened overseas.
We treat all of it at once because ignoring your underlying problems is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone. Our therapists use methods that actually work - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change destructive thinking patterns and specialized trauma therapy when your past is driving your addiction.
Preparing for Real Life
The hardest part isn't getting sober - it's staying sober when you go home to the same job, same stress, and same people who trigger your urge to use. We spend weeks helping you plan for those moments. You'll practice saying no to drinks at dinner parties. You'll learn what to do when anxiety hits at 2 AM and you used to reach for pills. We help you figure out which friends support your sobriety and which ones you need to avoid for a while.
People Who Get It
Every month, people who graduated from our program come back to talk with current patients. You'll meet a mom who's been clean for three years and still goes to AA twice a week. You'll hear from a guy who relapsed after six months and had to start over. They don't sugarcoat anything. They tell you what worked, what didn't, and what they wish someone had told them when they were sitting in your chair.
