New Outpatient Addiction Services Offered On East End

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — With the need for addiction services escalating across the board, Stony Brook Medicine Quannacut Outpatient Services has opened an off-site location in Southampton.

The new location, at 291 Hampton Road, is meant to expand access across the East End to outpatient addiction and psychiatry services.

In August, New York State awarded Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital with $7,920 to expand telepractice addiction services, a release said.

SBELIH was one of six providers on Long Island and one of 33 providers across New York State’s regional economic development zones to receive the state support, which has been key to opening the new Southampton location, the release added.

“Now more than ever, there is an increased demand for addiction services across the board,” David Cohen, director of Quannacut outpatient services said. “More telepractice resources enable us to safely provide more care to more members of our community, without compromising patients’ or staff members’ health.”

Intake assessments and psychiatry services are provided at the Riverhead location or via telehealth.

The Southampton off-site location is currently open Mondays from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., with more hours to come.

Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital is home to a number of behavioral health programs; the hospital’s Quannacut inpatient services facility provides inpatient rehabilitation and detox.

Quannacut Outpatient Services — a newly renovated 14,000 square foot state-of-the-art behavioral health facility in Riverhead with off-site locations in Southampton and Greenport — provides outpatient addiction services that address patients’ immediate and long-term substance use issues, the release said.
