Does this program use the 12-Steps?

Is the program faith-based?
No, the program is clinically focused and not faith-based, making it suitable for individuals of all belief systems.

Detox typically lasts up to seven days. The average stay for the residential treatment program is 30 days, though the exact length is based on individual clinical needs.
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
The living situation is a clinical facility with dorm-style accommodations. All rooms are shared with roommates to encourage peer support, and there are no private rooms available.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
No, it is not a locked facility. However, it is a closed campus, meaning clients cannot leave the property without staff permission. Day passes may be earned based on progress in the program.
Can I use my phone/laptop? Is smoking allowed?

What should I leave at home?
Leave valuables, electronics (laptops, tablets), weapons, non-prescribed medications, and any food or drinks at home. If you arrive with valuable items, they can be secured by staff.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment?
Inpatient (residential) treatment, offered here in Astoria, requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive and distraction-free environment.
