NewYork Presbyterian Addiction Programming
Alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs can severely affect your health — causing organ failure, cancer, and a host of other medical conditions. Addiction to those substances is a chronic brain disease.
Substance use disorders are the clinical term for addiction to alcohol or drugs, which causes significant impairment. More than 20 million Americans have substance use disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
NewYork-Presbyterian offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs for those struggling with substance use disorders. Our multidisciplinary care team uses scientifically validated treatment approaches. Along with your family and support network, we work with you to develop the skills necessary to move beyond addiction.
