Northwell Health Mather Hospital

Northwell Health Mather Hospital provides comprehensive behavioral health services for both adults and adolescents who are dealing with significant psychiatric symptoms. The center offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), which serves as a structured level of care for individuals who do not require a full inpatient stay but need more support than traditional outpatient therapy. This program is designed to be a step-down from an inpatient unit or to help prevent the need for hospitalization altogether. They offer a safe and therapeutic environment for individuals to focus on their mental health and recovery during the day while returning home in the evenings.
The treatment at the center is built around a collaborative and individualized plan, created with input from the client, their family, and their referring doctor. A variety of therapeutic methods are used, including individual, group, and family therapy sessions. Through these therapies, clients work on developing better coping strategies to handle daily stressors, learn to effectively manage their psychiatric symptoms, and gain a deeper understanding of their mental and emotional health. The goal is to empower each person with the skills needed for independent functioning and long-term wellness in a supportive setting.
A distinctive aspect of the program is its structured, full-day schedule, which runs from Monday through Friday, providing consistency and intensive care. For adolescents, the program integrates educational services, including tutoring, to ensure they can keep up with their schoolwork while receiving treatment. Furthermore, professional staff are available for crisis coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring that support is always accessible for clients and their families when it is needed most, providing a crucial safety net.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Northwell Health Mather Hospital offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
