About Long Island DBT Group

Long Island DBT Group is a private mental health treatment center. Based in Manhasset, New York, they treat adolescents ages 12 and up and adults. The skilled team of psychologists and social workers treat mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse disorders.

Treatment at Long Island DBT Group is based on dialectical behavior therapy. This is a type of behavioral therapy that focuses on helping you regulate big emotions. It approaches intense feelings from both sides, encouraging acceptance of different situations while also embracing strategies that can change your circumstances. In the case of drug addictions, you’ll focus on changing behavior patterns that lead to substance use.

Treatment using a dialectical approach has four key components. Individual counseling helps you identify triggers for intense emotions, and develop plans for managing them effectively. Skills training groups help you practice staying mindful and develop coping mechanisms in a supportive environment. These include emotional regulation, tolerance of distress, middle path skills, and effective interpersonal skills.

But there’s more! Telehealth services mean you’re able to contact your therapist in between counseling sessions to get help applying the skills you’ve learnt. And finally, the team meets weekly to build their skills and make sure they’re helping you to the best of their abilities.

Unfortunately, LI DBT is supporting and encouraging child alienation and disconnecting children from their parents. My daughter is going through very tough time with her mother poisoning and alienating her, and LI DBT decided to support the mother's actions, as she was making the payments... I understand LI DBT conflict who don't want to lose the business, but ethics are coming first! You can't support something that is against ANY kind of psychology, and advocate for children to have only one parent, while the other parent is begging for a relationship with his children!I spoke to multiple therapists in this organization and they all made it very clear that making money is more important for them, than helping a child who got caught between his parents divorce! I would avoid at any cost dealing with this organization.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
