People can and do recover from the impact of psychiatric impairments, disability, and trauma. Our two Centers for Recovery and Wellness in Ronkonkoma and  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.
