Finding the right care should bring relief, not stress. At New York Medical Center, we offer specialized treatment in a quiet, residential-style setting right here in Irving—providing a dignified, human approach to recovery that is close to home.
New York Medical Center (NYMC) is a specialized behavioral health and addiction recovery facility dedicated to the families of Western New York. With capacity for up to 180 beds, we provide a residential-style environment where healing feels like a return to yourself, rather than a descent into a complicated healthcare system.
Our Key Strengths:
To transform lives through accessible, patient-centered behavioral health and addiction care. We believe that high-level medical care can, and should, feel human.
We seek to create a ripple effect of wellness in Western New York by empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and reunite with their families. By restoring essential services to our backyard, we ensure that the work we do today builds a healthier tomorrow for the community we call home.
Founded to address the urgent need for accessible treatment in underserved regions, NYMC occupies the former Lakeshore Hospital site—a location with a long history of serving the people of Irving. Since the closure of the original hospital in 2020, our community has lacked immediate access to inpatient psychiatric and detox services.
NYMC restores this critical infrastructure, saving families the 60-minute drive to Buffalo or Jamestown. Our modern facility is purposefully designed to support the full spectrum of behavioral health needs, from acute crisis stabilization to long-term reintegration. From the moment you enter our care, you’re met with the dignity and professional expertise you deserve.
