Learn More →Medical Detoxification
Medical detoxification is the critical first step in addiction recovery. At SVS Advisors in Brooklyn, our medical detox program provides 24/7 clinical supervision to ensure your safety and comfort as your body eliminates harmful substances. Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous without proper medical oversight. Our experienced medical team manages withdrawal symptoms with evidence-based protocols and medication-assisted treatment.
Detox typically lasts 3-7 days, though the exact timeline depends on the substance used, duration of use, and individual health factors. Throughout the process, our compassionate staff monitors your vital signs, manages symptoms, and provides emotional support to help you through this challenging phase.
Our Detox Process
Comprehensive Assessment
Upon arrival, our medical team conducts a thorough evaluation including medical history, substance use assessment, physical examination, and lab work. This helps us create a personalized detox plan tailored to your specific needs and any co-occurring conditions.
Medical Stabilization
Our clinical team implements your customized detox protocol, which may include FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, manage cravings, and prevent complications. We provide round-the-clock monitoring, nutritional support, hydration therapy, and comfort measures to ensure your safety and well-being.
Transition to Treatment
As withdrawal symptoms subside, we prepare you for the next phase of recovery. Our team works with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan, whether that involves transitioning to our residential program, outpatient care, or connecting you with appropriate continuing care resources.
Substances We Treat
- Alcohol withdrawal with seizure prevention protocols
- Opioid detox including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers
- Benzodiazepine withdrawal with gradual tapering
- Stimulant detox for cocaine and methamphetamine
- Prescription drug withdrawal management
- Polysubstance use treatment
Medication-Assisted Treatment
We utilize FDA-approved medications to support safe withdrawal and reduce cravings. For opioid withdrawal, we may use medications like buprenorphine or methadone. For alcohol withdrawal, benzodiazepines help prevent seizures and manage anxiety. All medications are administered under strict medical supervision and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
24/7 Medical Monitoring
Our facility is staffed around the clock with experienced medical professionals including physicians, registered nurses, and clinical support staff. This ensures immediate response to any complications and provides continuous comfort and reassurance during your detox experience at our Brooklyn facility.
Residential Treatment Program
Our residential treatment program at SVS Advisors in Brooklyn offers the highest level of non-hospital addiction care. Living on-site at our facility allows you to step away from the triggers, stressors, and environments that contributed to your substance use. With 24/7 access to clinical support, structured therapeutic programming, and a community of peers on the same journey, residential treatment provides the foundation for lasting recovery.
This intensive program is ideal for individuals who need a structured, supportive environment to focus entirely on healing. Whether you're completing detox, have tried other treatment approaches without success, or simply need time away from daily stressors to build recovery skills, our residential program offers comprehensive care in a safe, therapeutic setting.
What Is Residential Treatment?
Residential treatment, also called inpatient treatment, involves living at our Brooklyn treatment facility while participating in a full schedule of therapeutic activities, counseling sessions, group therapy, skill-building workshops, and wellness activities. Unlike outpatient programs where you return home each evening, residential care provides continuous support and removes exposure to substances and triggers during the critical early months of recovery.
Our program combines evidence-based clinical interventions with holistic wellness approaches to address the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of addiction. You'll work one-on-one with a dedicated therapist, participate in group therapy sessions with peers, attend educational workshops about addiction and recovery, and engage in wellness activities that promote overall health.

Therapeutic Modalities
Outpatient Programs
Our outpatient programs at SVS Advisors in Brooklyn provide high-quality addiction treatment while allowing you to maintain your daily responsibilities such as work, school, or family obligations. Outpatient care is ideal for individuals who have completed residential treatment and are stepping down to less intensive care, or for those whose substance use and life circumstances allow them to live at home while receiving professional support.
We offer three levels of outpatient care, each designed to provide the appropriate intensity of treatment based on your clinical needs, stability, and support system. Our team will help you determine which level is right for you and support smooth transitions between levels as you progress in recovery.
Our Outpatient Programs
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Time Commitment: 5-6 days per week, 5-6 hours per day (typically 9 AM - 3 PM)
Duration: 2-4 weeks on average
Our PHP is the most intensive outpatient option, providing hospital-level clinical care without overnight stays. This program serves as an excellent step-down from residential treatment or as an alternative for individuals who need intensive support but have a stable, substance-free living environment.
PHP includes daily individual therapy, multiple group therapy sessions, psychiatric services, medication management, case management support, and crisis intervention when needed. You'll spend the majority of your day at our Brooklyn facility engaged in therapeutic programming, then return home in the evening to practice your recovery skills in real-world settings.
Ideal for: Individuals stepping down from residential care, those needing intensive treatment while living at home, or people requiring daily clinical monitoring without 24/7 supervision.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Time Commitment: 3-5 days per week, 3 hours per day (typically 6 PM - 9 PM or 9 AM - 12 PM)
Duration: 8-12 weeks on average
IOP provides structured, evidence-based treatment while offering greater flexibility for work, school, and family commitments. This program focuses on relapse prevention, developing coping skills, addressing underlying issues, and building a strong recovery support network.
IOP sessions include group therapy using CBT and DBT approaches, individual counseling sessions, family therapy when appropriate, psychoeducation about addiction and recovery, relapse prevention planning, and 12-step meeting attendance or alternative recovery support groups.
We offer both day and evening IOP tracks to accommodate different schedules. The evening track is particularly popular among working professionals and students who need treatment that fits around daytime obligations.
Ideal for: Those stepping down from PHP, individuals with strong support systems who need ongoing clinical care, or people beginning treatment at an outpatient level.
Standard Outpatient Program
Time Commitment: 1-2 days per week, 1-2 hours per session
Duration: Ongoing as needed
Standard outpatient treatment provides continued support as you solidify your recovery and work toward long-term sobriety. This program offers individual therapy sessions, periodic group therapy, medication management when needed, ongoing relapse prevention support, and assistance with life skills and goal-setting.
Outpatient care is highly personalized and can continue for months or even years as you build a fulfilling life in recovery. Sessions focus on maintaining sobriety, navigating challenges, strengthening relationships, addressing co-occurring mental health concerns, and achieving personal goals.
Ideal for: Individuals completing IOP, those with stable recovery who need ongoing support, or people addressing mild to moderate substance use concerns.
Step-Down Care Approach
Recovery is not a linear process, and the level of support you need will change over time. At SVS Advisors, we utilize a step-down care model, allowing you to seamlessly transition between levels of care as you progress:
Detox → Residential → PHP → IOP → Outpatient → Aftercare
This continuum ensures you always receive the right level of support for your current needs while gradually building independence and confidence in your recovery. If challenges arise, we can also increase support as needed, moving you to a higher level of care temporarily.
What to Expect in Outpatient Treatment
- Evidence-based therapy including CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing
- Group sessions with peers at similar stages of recovery
- Individual counseling to address personal challenges and goals
- Family therapy to heal relationships and build support systems
- Relapse prevention skills and coping strategies
- Life skills training for employment, education, and daily living
- Connection to community recovery resources and support groups
- Medication management when clinically appropriate
- Regular progress monitoring and treatment plan updates
Dual Diagnosis Program
Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, occur when an individual experiences both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition simultaneously. At SVS Advisors in Brooklyn, we recognize that these conditions are deeply interconnected and require integrated treatment for successful recovery. Treating only the addiction while ignoring underlying mental health issues, or vice versa, often leads to relapse and continued suffering.
Our dual diagnosis program addresses both conditions concurrently through comprehensive psychiatric care, specialized therapy approaches, medication management, and holistic support. This integrated approach leads to better outcomes, lower relapse rates, and more sustainable long-term recovery.
What Is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis refers to the simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. These conditions often fuel each other in a destructive cycle: individuals may use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. Over time, substance use worsens mental health symptoms, leading to increased use and deepening both conditions.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States experience co-occurring disorders. Despite how common dual diagnosis is, many treatment programs address only one condition, leaving individuals vulnerable to relapse and ongoing mental health struggles.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat
- Depression: Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and treatment-resistant depression co-occurring with substance use
- Anxiety Disorders: Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and phobias combined with alcohol or drug dependence
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Trauma-related symptoms and substance use as coping mechanisms for flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance
- Bipolar Disorder: Mood cycling between depression and mania, often complicated by substance use during manic or depressive episodes
- Borderline Personality Disorder: Emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and impulsive substance use patterns
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Difficulty with focus and impulse control co-occurring with stimulant or marijuana use
- Eating Disorders: Anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder combined with substance misuse
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors alongside substance use
Our Integrated Treatment Approach
At SVS Advisors, dual diagnosis treatment involves a multidisciplinary team working together to address all aspects of your health. Our approach includes:
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
Our board-certified psychiatrists conduct thorough assessments to accurately diagnose all co-occurring conditions. We review medical history, conduct clinical interviews, use standardized diagnostic tools, and may order additional testing to create a complete picture of your mental health and substance use patterns.
Medication Management
When appropriate, our psychiatrists prescribe medications to stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, manage depression, or address other mental health symptoms. We carefully select medications that support both mental health stability and addiction recovery, avoiding substances with abuse potential whenever possible. Regular medication reviews ensure optimal effectiveness.
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy
We utilize therapeutic approaches proven effective for dual diagnosis treatment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps regulate emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses negative thought patterns contributing to both addiction and mental health symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy processes past experiences contributing to current struggles.
Specialized Group Therapy
Our dual diagnosis groups provide peer support among individuals facing similar challenges. These groups focus on coping with co-occurring conditions, medication compliance, recognizing warning signs of relapse or mental health crisis, and building recovery skills that address both conditions simultaneously.
Holistic Wellness
Mental health and addiction recovery both benefit from comprehensive wellness approaches. We incorporate yoga and mindfulness to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, nutritional counseling to support brain health, exercise programs to boost mood and reduce cravings, and sleep hygiene education to address insomnia and fatigue.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Dual diagnosis recovery requires consistent monitoring and support. Our team tracks your progress in both addiction recovery and mental health stability, adjusting treatment as needed. We provide crisis intervention when challenges arise and ensure seamless transitions between levels of care at our Brooklyn facility.
Why Integrated Treatment Matters
Treating co-occurring disorders separately often leads to poor outcomes. If you address your addiction but not your underlying depression, the untreated depression may trigger relapse. Similarly, treating anxiety without addressing alcohol dependence leaves you vulnerable to continued drinking and worsening mental health.
Our integrated dual diagnosis program ensures both conditions receive equal attention from a coordinated treatment team. This approach leads to better symptom management, reduced risk of relapse, improved quality of life, stronger coping skills, better medication compliance, and sustained recovery from both conditions.
Available at All Levels of Care
Dual diagnosis treatment is integrated into all our programs at SVS Advisors, from medical detox through outpatient care. Whether you need residential treatment for severe co-occurring disorders or outpatient support for ongoing management, our team provides specialized dual diagnosis care at every level.
