About Montefiore Wakefield Division
Montefiore Wakefield Division in Bronx, New York is home to the Wakefield Recovery Center as well as outpatient adult and child psychiatry programs. Combined, these programs serve people of any age who are struggling with psychiatric disorders or substance use. At this clinic, you can expect to be connected to a therapist and a medication provider who you will visit on a recurring schedule.
Montefiore Einstein is a large hospital system in New York with many campuses all around NYC. Their mental health and substance use services are also dispersed in convenient locations throughout the city. While what they offer at this clinic is very specific, do be aware that you can get different levels of mental health and addiction care at their other locations.
The Wakefield Recovery Center is for people who are 18 and over who have a primary substance use disorder. If you have other mental health issues alongside your addiction issues, rest assured that they can still help you since they are capable of treating co-occurring disorders. If you’re not actively using but want help staying in recovery, you can also get help from them.
The child psychiatry program at the Montefiore Wakefield Campus works with children as young as four. Patients can stay with them until they are 21, but if they’re new to the clinic, they should look to the adult program if they’re 17 and a half or older.
At the children’s mental health clinic, they use age appropriate therapies to treat children and their families. They also work with the parents of children who are clinic patients to develop the parenting skills that will support the specific needs of their child.
They have many positive and enthusiastic reviews where the reviewers felt that the clinic staff were helpful and friendly.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.
Dual 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.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
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.
Clinical Services
Group 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.
Trauma 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.
