The PREVENT Clinic at the Healthy Minds Chestnut Ridge Center is a multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide comprehensive and evidenced-based assessment and treatment of adolescents with substance use problems.
The clinic is staffed by a multidisciplinary treatment team of clinical therapists, social workers, and physicians – including specially trained child and adolescent psychiatrists. For teens who have just begun using substances or have had one episode of concerning behavior, to those struggling with more advanced levels of addiction, we are here to provide comprehensive care in a clinical, private, and nonjudgmental setting.
The clinic staff understand the effects of substances on the brain, while still being mindful that adolescence can be a time of uncertainty and that developing a healthy sense of identity and independence is of paramount importance. Our clinic is designed with an understanding of adolescents’ and their families’ unique needs.
