Talbot House – Residential Stabilization Program
Located in Bohemia, NY, Talbot House, an essential service of Catholic Charities of Long Island, offers a crucial entry point for adults and young adults seeking recovery from substance use disorders. This facility specializes in residential stabilization, providing a structured, supportive environment for individuals in crisis or undergoing the critical initial phase of detoxification.
Comprehensive Stabilization and Medical Detox
The program is fundamentally built around a 24-hour crisis stabilization unit. This unit is designed to offer a safe, medically supervised setting where clients can complete the necessary process of medical detoxification. For individuals grappling with moderate to severe addictions, this round-the-clock intensive medical support is paramount for managing withdrawal symptoms effectively and ensuring stability.
Talbot House provides inpatient treatment, meaning clients reside at the facility throughout the detox period. This controlled environment ensures clients receive continuous care and supervision necessary for a stable transition into further treatment. They also specifically treat opioid use disorders, utilizing necessary medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone during detox and treatment phases.
Integrated Treatment Services
Understanding that addiction often co-occurs with other challenges, Talbot House offers comprehensive treatment services that address various aspects of a client’s well-being. Their holistic approach integrates both substance use treatment and mental health support for individuals with co-occurring serious mental health illnesses. Treatment is delivered through a combination of therapeutic modalities:
- Individual Counseling
- Group Counseling
- Case management services
- Mental health services
Furthermore, the facility provides essential education and support regarding conditions like HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis. They also incorporate specialized services, including acupuncture, to aid in recovery.
Focus on Transition and Aftercare
A core component of the Talbot House model is preparing clients for the next step in their recovery journey. Once clients are medically stabilized, the clinical team facilitates referrals and “warm handoffs” to appropriate levels of care outside the stabilization unit. Transitional support is robust, including discharge planning, follow-up after discharge, and education on overdose prevention through naloxone training. Additionally, supportive services are available, such as housing assistance, peer mentoring, and employment counseling, helping clients build a foundation for long-term sobriety.
The Talbot House Residential Stabilization program serves adult men and women, as well as young adults (18-25), offering specialized care tailored to these populations.
