How are appointments made?
Community House can be contacted at (516) 674-7852. Patients will speak to a representative from Intake and will be given an appointment for an evaluation.

Who can receive services?
Individuals with substance abuse problems (alcohol and/or drugs), as well as significant others, may apply to the division. There are no distinctions made with regard to age, race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, physical condition or residence.

What is involved in the intake process?
Patients will have a formal evaluation, in which they will be asked a series of questions about their history. Patients will also be asked to provide a urine specimen for analysis and take a simple screening exam for tuberculosis. If indicated, the patient will also be interviewed by a psychiatrist. Any questions related to treatment can be asked during the intake process.

What happens when the intake process is completed?
When this process is completed, a professional treatment team will formulate an appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Treatment recommendations are then discussed with patients.

Is participation in treatment confidential?
Yes, any information concerning patients’ participation in treatment may be released only through patient authorization. By becoming a patient, however, you agree that we may contact your other health care providers.
