Why Are You Seeking Addiction Treatment?
This is a tough question to ask anyone. Be honest with yourself. What’s your reason to enter an addiction treatment facility? Have friends and family suggested that you stay close to home in New York? Why do you want to take this next step to receive addiction treatment?
• What’s your goal?
• What do you want to achieve from addiction therapy?
Your answer isn’t like anyone else’s response to the question. When you know the answer to this important question, take the question to our treatment facility team.
What are our goals for New Horizon patients?

What Programs Does New Horizon Counseling Center Offer?
With so many addiction recovery and treatment centers in the United States, how do you know which one works best for you? Every program uses an array of resources to help patients recover. All offer various sobriety methods and tools. Some offer inpatient and outpatient programs, too. We recommend:
• Start where you are. New Horizon Counseling Center offers customizable programs to New Yorkers in search of the rest of their lives.
• We know that the tools and resources offered by New Horizon Counseling Center help New Yorkers get sober and release their addictions.
• We support patients from all walks of life—we don’t pound the table about any religious system or model. Each patient that enters New Horizon is different. Our job is to match our resources with your goals.
What Happens in a New Horizon Initial Assessment?
Our professionals talk with you. We want to know what’s going on physically, mentally, and psychologically in your life. We discuss your health, symptoms, and probe for answers to arrive at what kind of treatment program will work best to achieve your long-term sobriety.
We treat the whole person. Your mind and body are one system. It’s very common for our patients to experience depression along with chemical addiction. If you or someone you love is depressed, we will incorporate depression therapies along with substance abuse and addiction treatments.
Your assessment will be thorough. Plan to discuss any questions about treatment before, during, and after the initial assessment.
Is Detoxification (Detox) Part of the New Horizon Counseling Center Program?
Detox may be potentially dangerous. Mental health professionals and medical doctors treat your entire person. You may feel that you’re not physically addicted—but it’s possible that your body is addicted to one or more substances.
Commonly, patients feel that it’s possible to stop their addiction whenever they want. They try to go “cold turkey,” but withdrawal symptoms present. Depending on how severe your withdrawal from chemical addiction is, you may benefit from detoxification as part of your process.
If you require detoxification, our medical professionals are there for you every step of the way.
Do You Personalize My Treatment?
Yes, there’s really no one-size-fits-all addiction therapy process. New Horizon wants to ensure that you’re in the right place to receive beneficial addiction treatment. We tailor your program to you. You’re never in precisely the same place as any other patient in search of addiction recovery.
Treatment for your addiction and recovery from it is personalized to you and your unique journey. Your psychological views and issues differ. You receive precisely what’s needed to support your release from addiction and long-term recovery from it.
What Part Does Proper Nutrition Play in Addiction Recovery?
Eating well is an essential part of your rehabilitation and recovery from addiction. You might initially feel that all calories are the same, or you might not eat regular nutritious meals. New Horizon knows that addiction extracts a price on your health.
Nutritional awareness—and good, healthy meals—are part of your recovery process. You will learn what to eat to support the process of recovering from addiction.
Does New Horizon Take Health and Medical Insurance?
Knowing how to pay for addiction treatment is an important part of almost everyone’s decision to take the next step. Ask your insurer if they offer coverage for alcohol and drug addiction treatment. When you contact us, we will clarify any details with your insurance provider to assist in your New Horizon enrollment.
What About Your Counselors’ Training?
This is an excellent question for you to discuss with us. Let’s discuss the doctors, medical professionals, therapists, and other support staff at our sites. We’ll share their credentials because it’s important for you to know you’re in the right place.
Will I Receive Ongoing Out-Patient Support After Addiction Recovery Treatment?
Again, addiction recovery is an ongoing process. Relapse prevention is important to you, and to New Horizon Counseling Center. You will have many new tools after addiction recovery treatment, and you need ongoing support. You’re prepared for success. Ask New Horizons Counseling Center about our ongoing post-treatment support and programs.
What If I Need to Continue Treatment From New Horizon Counseling Center?
Treatment is an individualized process, and nothing feels more difficult than being told it’s time to go before you’re feeling strong enough to face the world. Ask us about our programs—and check with your insurance provider about any coverage limits beforehand.
These 10 questions to ask yourself before entering an addiction recovery program is a place to begin. You have lots of questions, and we’re here to answer them. We understand that addiction treatment is often a life or death decision. Ask these questions and any others before deciding on an addiction treatment center for yourself or someone you love.
