I am a native of the South Shore of Long Island and I am excited to have recently learned that Recreate Behavioral Health is coming to Hicksville! I was admitted to the Allure Detox Facility and the entire staff at Allure attended to my needs with compassion, patience, and kindness and given my mental and physical condition at that time they helped me get through it. I then successfully completed their inpatient program at Recreate Life Counseling and the experience was truly transcending and life saving!

Prior to my discharge a thorough outpatient treatment plan was established locally near my home to maintain my sobriety and ensure my long-term recovery. The continued support of everyone at Recreate Life coupled with the support of my family has changed my life forever! I am forever grateful to All the people that helped me change my life.

I would like to thank RBHN and Garden State Treatment Center in NJ for changing my life.

I turned to RBHN’s Garden State Treatment Center for alcohol abuse.

My experience at Garden State Treatment Center was all-around excellent.

I was welcomed by a staff of expert, supportive, compassionate employees. My days were filled with incredibly positive experiences including enlightening daily group sessions, one on one sessions with a knowledgeable and compassionate therapist, and in the evenings, a house meeting was held which included participating in AA meetings on zoom.

Returning home was seamless. I had all the confidence and tools I needed to reunite with my family, return to work and maintain my recovery. Prior to leaving, RBHN’s Garden State Treatment Center prepared and submitted all necessary paperwork required to return to work and arranged for my admission into an IOP close to home.

Choosing RBHN’s Garden State Treatment Center was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I would find it extremely beneficial for my continued recovery and the recovery of others, both recovering and still suffering to have a local presence here on Long Island, NY.

Hello, my name is Kevin and I am an alcoholic and an addict. I am originally from Queens Village, NY, but for the past eight years my home has been in Long Beach, NY. For many years I have been battling my addiction and could never seem to get a grip on it. This past June I finally had enough of the way I have been living my life, and I decided to reach out for help. The detox that I went to told me about this place in New Jersey called Garden State Treatment Center. I signed up for it figuring I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. It was the greatest decision I have ever made in my life. The moment I arrived, the staff made me feel comfortable and safe, the clients all introduced themselves to me, and all the counselors and therapists assured me that I was in a safe place immediately. Naturally, I had all my guards up, however, I learned pretty quickly that I really was in a safe place. Within a day or two of being here in treatment, something clicked within me that I was in the right place. I went on to complete the Partial Care program from on July 20th, 2020 and decided to take my time here a step further. I entered into the IOP Program and decided today stay in Sparta while residing in a local Recovery Residence that Garden State helped me set up. Through my time in IOP I was able to see just how much the clinical staff really does care about the people who come here for help, they have helped me in ways I can’t even describe. Ultimately, I am a much happier person, and I have Garden State to thank for that, they saved my life! I would LOVE to see them open up a treatment facility in Long Island because I know they can help my fellow Long Islander’s see there is a better way of living. For so long I just existed. Garden State showed me a way to LIVE!!

My name is Kristina and I am a recovering alcoholic. I've lived most of my life on Long Island where I was raised in a small but affluent village in Nassau County. I was given every opportunity to achieve a comfortably successful lifestyle and built a beautiful life for myself as a result. That all took a turn for the worse when I let my guard down and inevitably allowed alcohol to take control over everything I had worked so hard to attain. I had never been in rehabilitation but knew I had to do something before I lost everything.

Reaching out to the Recreate Behavioral Network Facility was the best decision I have ever made in my life. Allure Detox gave me the best clinical care while also providing an atmosphere filled with comfort and constant support. The staff proved to be an integral part of the first step of my rehabilitation. My transition through the next steps of my recovery seemed nearly effortless as the Recreate team worked hard to make sure that I had an incredibly positive experience filled with clinical excellence, compassion, and support. RBHN carefully guided me, my family, and employer through the process of preparing a new life back on Long Island. I was confident that they had provided me with the necessary tools to maintain recovery going forward.

Unfortunately, I lived very far from any branch of the Recreate Behavioral Network Facilities and hope to see an expansion of their presence closer to my home in New York. With the possibility of a local facility it would solidify my continued life-long path of recovery and growth. Services like potential outpatient treatment, local resources and alumni gatherings/ support would only reinforce the concrete foundation that RBHN has helped me to create. I highly recommend this particular establishment if you are seeking a way to change your life for the better just as I did!
