Baldwin Clinic Offers Evening Alcohol Rehab So Patients Can Keep Working

BALDWIN, NY — October 2026 — Integrity Treatment Partners runs Evening Intensive Outpatient (Alcohol Rehab) for adults who cannot attend daytime programs. It meets at 5:30pm and ends at 8:30pm, Monday–Friday, so patients can keep working.

The program is part of the clinic's alcohol rehab on Long Island services, which combine individual therapy, group counseling, family sessions, and medication-assisted treatment. For alcohol patients, the clinic administers Vivitrol, a monthly naltrexone injection that is FDA-approved to treat alcohol dependence. It is not a controlled substance and does not cause physical dependence. Therapy addresses the patterns that keep the drinking going.

"Most of our alcohol patients are functioning adults," said Michael Mechow, CASAC-II, Clinical Director. "They have jobs, mortgages, kids. Telling them to check into a facility for a month isn't realistic. Evening Intensive Outpatient (Alcohol Rehab) gives them structured clinical care without that disruption."

Evening Intensive Outpatient (Alcohol Rehab) is a 3-hour group. The evening track runs from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, Monday through Friday. A lighter clinical plan on Evening IOP can be three days a week, the 9-hour minimum, when the assessment supports a lighter week. The evening track is still offered Monday through Friday. Sessions include cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention planning, motivational interviewing, and process groups. After the intensive phase, care can step down to standard outpatient groups, which meet less often than IOP.

The clinic has found that the evening schedule attracts patients who might not have sought treatment otherwise. Many people with alcohol use disorder maintain their professional lives for years before the consequences become unmanageable. An evening program removes the obstacle of choosing between treatment and income — a trade-off that keeps many people from getting help.

The clinic also coordinates with local sober living homes for patients who need additional structure outside of treatment hours. That outpatient model pairs clinical care with a supportive living environment. The homes operate separately from the clinic.

Family involvement is another core component. The clinic offers family therapy sessions and educational groups for spouses, parents, and adult children of patients. Alcohol use disorder affects the entire household, and the clinical team works with families on communication, boundary-setting, and understanding addiction as a medical condition rather than a moral failing.

"Alcohol treatment doesn't have to mean putting your life on hold," said Samantha Callister, LMSW, Executive Director. "We built the schedule around how people actually live on Long Island — they commute, they work, they have families. Treatment has to fit into that, not compete with it."

A lot of people with alcohol problems don't look like they need treatment — they hold down jobs, pay their bills, show up for their families. But they're drinking every night and they can't stop. Evening outpatient gives them a way in without blowing up the rest of their life. — Michael Mechow, CASAC-II, Clinical Director, Integrity Treatment Partners
