About Family Service League – Stepping Stones

Family Service League’s Stepping Stones program is committed to providing at-risk youth and families with flexible, individualized addiction treatment services in Huntington, New York. In addition to helping individuals like yourself with recovery, they offer a wide range of specialized services.

In addition, other services address conditions like nicotine addiction, sexual abuse, OCD, trauma disorders, psychiatric care, and social and recreational development.

So, if you enroll, you can receive assistance with these areas and more while you undergo addiction treatment that is primarily offered in an outpatient setting with individual, group, or family counseling sessions.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

How can anyone take staff seriously when they show up to work in a AC DC t-shirt, worn out pants, baseball hat, and looking completely unkempt; or sweatshirt, sweatpants, baseball cap. Baseball cap?? Inside?? Who sits for 8 hours doing everything in their power to not have to stand? The appearance of these people are also reflected in their very bad attitudes.

After going to this practice for over two years, I was happy with the services provided.Fast forward to this month January, I have had to switch doctors because the doctor "wasn't comfortable with treating me ", then I was told that the doctor left the practice. So which is it? The doctor left or she didn't want to treat me anymore? Talk about mind games with a mentally ill person, being deceived isn't right to do to anyone, mentally ill or not.Then I was assigned a new doctor who didn't have the time to listen to me. After that appointment with the new doctor, I left upset.A therapy practice is supposed to help descelate a situation, not make confrontation worse.The last straw was when my intelligence and memory was insulted, and then I was told that I was required to take drug tests. Never in my life since I have been taking mental health medications have I ever been required to take drug test, money suckers.I don't appreciate being deceived.If it's not broken, don't fix it. I'm not a guinea pig.The wait time on hold on the phone is also a problem. This practice needs to change there ways.This practice is a laughing stock.

i have never had a more dehumanizing experience in healthcare in my lifei had a referral to this practice from the beginning of september. the first time they called me i was at work. when i called back after my work hours, they said only a supervisor could handle my referral and the supervisor was only in 9-5 on weekdays. those house don t work for me (or most people, i assume?) because i work, so i asked if they could email me. they took down my email and said they would be in touch soon.then i got a letter in the mail saying that they tried to contact me twice, and if i didn t respond to this letter in 2 days they would terminate my referral. i called soon after opening this letter and told the girl on the other end that they were supposed to email me and she said they weren t able to send communications over email. when i asked why i was told they would if they couldn t, they didn t have an answer for me, but they said their supervisor was in and they would transfer me to talk to her now. when they transferred me it went straight to voicemail.i called again and the third receptionist said that i could not actually talk to a supervisor and had to leave a message for two different people. they were very cold and unkind and completely unsympathetic that i was frustrated with the back and fourth.when i left a message for a supervisor and she called me back she told me it was the first time that a message had been left for her despite me calling at least 5 times.throughout the process of just TRYING to schedule i gave my availability and was ONLY ever given appointments outside of my availability. this happened at least 3 times. then when they finally scheduled me for a time that worked for me, they called back the next day to tell me that the therapist had left the practice so she could no longer see me. at this point i had cancelled going forward with my current therapist and they could not fit me back in. this means because of YOUR PRACTICE i am now WITHOUT a therapist completely. when i tried to explain this to your manager (bridget? bridgid?) all she said to me in a very not nice tone was well it s not MY fault the therapist left the practice. i never suggested it was- only tried to explain what i am writing in this review but she wouldn t let me get a word in. she said she would call me when she found something else. i called after a few days of me not hearing from her to check in again and they said that they tried to contact me but my voicemail was full. i never got a call from them during my availability so i checked my phone- they called me again at a time i specifically said i was not available. now the only alternative time they offered me was a time that, again, was not within my availability. there are only TWO nights a week where i can not do early in the evening and they only offered appointments to me on these days. i asked the receptionist that called me what would happen if i could not take that appointment (all i was told was that it was the first available, not that it was the only available) and they said they would call me back to schedule something else. it s now been about a week and a half and i have not heard from anyone.i understand it is no one s fault that a therapist left a practice (except with the attitude i got from your staff and your manager, maybe it is) but the complete lack of empathy your staff has for dealing with people in a mental health crisis is disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves. i would rather not be in therapy then have to deal with these people any longer. do yourself a favor and don t even waste your time. i got referred over a month ago and they still haven t made any real effort to get me seen. they only made my situation actively worse. i imagine if anyone was even in a slightly worse situation, this lack of care could have seriously hurt them.
