People can and do recover from the impact of psychiatric impairments, disability, and trauma. Our two Centers for Recovery and Wellness – Pollack Center in Ronkonkoma and Synergy Center in Riverhead – offer services based upon national evidence-based rehabilitation research. Using individual and classroom-based modalities, our well-trained staff engages each participant to identify their own overall recovery goals and the specific barriers that have obstructed his/her path to a happy, healthy, and productive life. These Centers operate under the Personalized Recovery-Oriented Services (PROS) licenses from the New York State Office of Mental Health.
