Friends of Bridge Inc Outpt Drug Abuse Treatment Program

Friends of Bridge Inc provides both medical detox and outpatient addiction treatment services, creating a seamless transition for individuals beginning their recovery journey. The medical detox program addresses the physical aspects of withdrawal while the outpatient program supports ongoing recovery through structured therapeutic programming.

This dual-service model allows clients to complete medical detox and continue with outpatient care at the same facility, maintaining therapeutic relationships and continuity of care. The outpatient program accommodates various schedules with extended evening hours, making it accessible for working adults and students managing recovery alongside other responsibilities.

The recovery center specializes in treating opioid use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions, addressing the complex needs common in today's recovery community. Their dual diagnosis approach recognizes that successful long-term recovery often requires treating both substance use disorders and underlying mental health conditions simultaneously.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the foundation of their therapeutic programming, providing clients with practical skills for managing triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and building sustainable recovery practices. This clinical approach supports both addiction recovery and mental health stabilization.

Extended operating hours including evening appointments until 9 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays accommodate the diverse schedules of Nassau County residents seeking treatment. This flexibility supports working adults, parents, and students who need addiction treatment that fits around existing responsibilities.

Telehealth services expand access to care and provide ongoing support for alumni and current clients, creating connections that extend beyond traditional office visits. Multiple payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance ensure treatment accessibility across different economic circumstances within the Long Island recovery community.
