About Staten Island Mental Health Society – Family Support Program

Staten Island PPS Behavioral Health, formerly known as Staten Island Mental Health Society - Family Support Program, is a substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health treatment facility for adults in Staten Island, New York. They use evidenced based practices to help treat your substance use disorder and mental health issues.

This facility believes in treating the whole person, physically, mentally, and emotionally. They do screenings and treatment to try to find any missed diagnosis so that targeted treatment can take place.

This facility also provides medication assisted therapy. The medication helps keep you comfortable during detox by helping with the withdrawal symptoms and it also curves the cravings, especially if your addiction is to opioids. They use medication as the first line of rehab with opioid addiction and rehabilitation. They also provide additional psychosocial therapies and support. While going through medication assisted therapy here, you are also connected to a Certified Recovery Peer Advocate that will mentor you and help keep you engaged.

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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.

I was with them for years because my son suffers from adhd and autism. It took a couple years to get the medications right, trial and error dr khan was amazing and very helpful during the entire process! Never had an issue, until they switched his therapist to Lesly Carazas. She wanted me to accommodate her busy schedule but i couldn t and eventually we compromised on a time. Once the appts rolled in she wanted us to download an app to view my son on camera which my son hates cameras but we did.. fast forward a couple weeks.. She was snappy with me about missing appointments, suggesting he can get meds only LIES! they can t without therapy... I ve never had this issue with his previous therapists, they re usually very understanding when it came to this because they knew life happens. Not Lesly.. She took it upon herself to close my sons entire case not long after.. I guess her pay check was more important. We were dealing with personal issues!!! but she didn t even give me a chance to explain this to her before she decided to close the case! So.. now! He no longer receives medical treatment nor therapy from this place and now I m on a waiting list to go back because they re completely booked! Thanks a lot LESLY now my son can t focus in school or at home. He s no longer receiving medication or therapy to help him get through his day, he barely sleeps through the night and now his school is seriously concerned about my sons medication and why he s no longer receiving it. Great work Lesly i hope the child that filled that spot needed it more than mine!!!

I think it's highly confusing to call your office "Staten Island Mental Health".... when you only serve children and people up to 26 years of age. I think the name of this office needs to change. That's all.
