When your teen is caught up with drugs or alcohol, it feels like you’re losing them piece by piece. Guilt, panic, and heartbreak twist together as you try to hold on. But, you are not alone!
Never Alone offers a unique, camplike treatment experience built exclusively for adolescents ages 12-17 struggling with drugs, alcohol and related mental health issues like anxiety, depression or trauma.
Teens travel in from across the county for non-institutional, effective treatment — covered by insurance (including Medicaid).

With a maximum of just 22 patients, each teen receives highly personalized care. Teens here blend evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-focused care, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with holistic options that make healing feel more natural.
They participate in recreational therapies, art and music therapy, meditation, fitness, and nutrition programs. Motivational Interviewing (MI) and experiential therapies help teens build confidence and coping skills for long-term success.
Beyond therapy, Never Alone creates a welcoming, fun environment. Teens enjoy a game room, a barber/hair salon, basketball and volleyball courts, a soccer field, beach outings, cornhole, movie theater, gym, and karaoke — as well as plenty of nature-based activities on the 32-acre private property.
Professional catered meals and flat-screen TVs enhance the comfortable, home-like atmosphere. The balance of structure and relaxation helps teens focus on healing while proving sober life can be fun!
Teens don’t have to choose between school or mental health. Each weekday, teens spend three hours in a classroom, which can be arranged with their current school or enrolled in the online platform through the local school district.
This structure gives them a sense of progress and normalcy while building confidence for when they return home. It’s not about stress or grades — it’s about showing them they haven’t lost their future!
You will never feel left out or in the dark. You’ll receive weekly updates, take part in regular family therapy sessions, and can visit every Sunday afternoon.
You’ll also have direct access to their care team and a dedicated Family Liaison Counselor to call or text — for advice, therapy, or just to feel less alone. Our weekly virtual support group and private family Facebook page connect you with others walking the same road. Because your healing matters too.
Never Alone is the nicest center in the Northeast designed just for teen drug treatment and accepts insurance, including Medicaid. That means access to a beautiful, non-institutional setting, expert clinical care, and engaging therapies — all without overwhelming costs.
We’ll walk you through every step of the insurance process so your focus stays where it matters most: on your teen’s healing.
When teens feel safe, understood, and supported by people who truly get them, they open up — and that’s when real healing begins. The medical and clinical specialists here know how to connect with adolescents, with proven therapies and creative approaches that actually work.

If your son or daughter is using drugs and it’s affecting their mood, school, relationships, or safety — you’re not overreacting. You may notice lying, sneaking out, missing school, or dramatic changes in behavior or hobbies. If you’ve tried setting limits, getting counseling, or talking things through — and the problems continue — adolescent drug rehab is often the best next step. You never have to wait for things to get worse!
Yes, in most states (including New York), if your child is under 18, you can admit them to a treatment program even if they don’t agree. This is hard — but sometimes necessary. Your child might be angry at first, but safety comes before approval. Once treatment begins, your child will start to see everything with better perspective.
Yes. Treatment here includes the whole family, because the addiction is affecting everyone. You’ll get support to work through the anger, confusion, and hurt that substance use can leave behind. Family therapy helps you set boundaries, rebuild trust, and start having healthier, more honest conversations. It takes time, but building trust and connection is possible.
You don’t have to share every detail. Keep it simple: “He’s struggling right now, and we found a camp that can help.” Siblings may feel scared or confused — reassure them that this isn’t their fault, and that you’re doing everything you can to help their brother or sister get better. Be honest, but age-appropriate.
It’s not your fault. Even in good, loving homes, teens end up in deep pain and make dangerous choices. What matters now isn’t what you could’ve done differently — but what you’re doing today. Helping your child get treatment is taking responsibility. You’re showing up. That’s not failure — that’s love.
