Local Recovery Center in Staten Island, NY
Staten Island has always had a strong sense of community, tight-knit neighborhoods, families who've lived here for generations, and a borough that takes care of its own. That same sense of care is exactly what we bring to substance use disorder treatment. Whether someone is reaching out for the first time or returning after a difficult setback, finding a reliable rehab treatment center that treats people with dignity matters more than anything else. This page walks through who we are, how we help, and why families across Staten Island trust us with something this personal.
Who We Are and What We Stand For
Arms Acres is a licensed inpatient rehabilitation facility situated on a 54-acre site in Carmel Hamlet, NY, serving individuals and families throughout the New York area, including Staten Island. We are licensed by the Joint Commission and the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), which means our standards for care aren't self-imposed; they're verified. Our 191-bed facility accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid, and our admissions team helps verify coverage before anyone has to make a commitment.
Treatment Programs We Offer
Our treatment programs are built around what each person actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. We offer medically supervised inpatient detox, outpatient programs, and adult rehabilitation services for those dealing with alcohol and drug dependency, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions. Our clinical team includes physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and counselors working together as a coordinated care unit. Therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy are woven into each individualized treatment plan.
A Setting That Supports Healing
Recovery is hard enough without being in an environment that feels cold or clinical. Our facility sits on 54 acres of quiet, open land in Putnam County, a setting that gives patients the physical and mental space to focus on getting better. With 24/7 medical and clinical support available throughout every patient's stay, no one goes through this process alone. Medication-assisted therapy is also available when clinically recommended, and our team makes accommodations for patients with disabilities, including American Sign Language interpretation.
How Admissions Works
Getting started is straightforward. Our intake team is available around the clock, and they walk through every question you might have, including the length of stay, what to bring, family programs, transportation to the facility, and insurance coverage. All information shared during that process stays confidential. We want the focus to be on getting help, not navigating paperwork.

Communities here look out for each other, and that's the kind of spirit we try to bring into every room at our facility.
