About us
Arms Acres is a distinguished private alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility located in Carmel Hamlet, New York. Their comprehensive programs cater to adolescents and adults, offering essential services such as medical detoxification, gender-specific inpatient treatment, and robust aftercare support. Specialized services are available for young adults, veterans and military personnel, as well as individuals with co-occurring addictions and mental health conditions.
The medical detoxification program at Arms Acres ensures clients safely withdraw from substances like opioids and alcohol under meticulous medical supervision and clinical care. A dedicated multidisciplinary team oversees each client’s detox journey, focusing on enhancing comfort, managing cravings, and averting potential complications. Services provided during detoxification include thorough medical evaluations, psychiatric assessments, individual and group therapy sessions, and educational lectures aimed at promoting understanding and recovery.
Following detoxification, clients at Arms Acres have the opportunity to transition into the facilityโs distinguished inpatient treatment program. This program emphasizes a client-centered approach and incorporates evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed therapy. Arms Acres features separate units for men and women, allowing individuals to focus on their unique recovery needs, with a coed unit also available.
Throughout their stay, clients engage in a variety of therapeutic activities designed to enhance their physical health and mental well-being. These activities include closed discussion groups, recreational pursuits, fitness classes, 12 Step meetings, yoga sessions, equine therapy, and swimming. Each component is carefully integrated to support holistic recovery and personal growth.
Arms Acres further supports clients’ long-term recovery with individualized aftercare referrals, facilitating connections to community-based providers who offer ongoing support beyond the residential treatment setting.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
