Long Island's new private, professional, and comfortable medical detox center
Sunrise Detox offers the comforts of home in a fully staffed medical detox. The 14,000 square foot, state-of-the-art treatment facility offers 20 beds, including 2 executive suites. Sunrise provides on-site medical staff, daily cleaning services, an in-house chef, and plenty of space to lounge when you’re not in one of the several groups taking place that day.
Originally from Ocean County, New Jersey, Gina Hooper began her career with Sunrise Detox in 2018 as a chemical dependency tech, and rose through the ranks, earning her position as Service Director for Sunrise Detox in Cherry Hill. After demonstrating her hard work, care, and dedication in this role, she was invited to bring that expertise to our newest location serving Long Island.
Gina works in conjunction with the Clinical and Medical departments. They work together to identify each patient's needs, tailoring treatment plans for the best chances of success in recovery.
In long-term recovery herself, Gina thinks of patients as partners; as individuals she can help guide on a journey to freedom. Gina places a high value on communication skills, making sure patients are always involved in their treatment and feel comfortable and safe.
Clinical Director Meredith Cooper chose to work in substance abuse treatment to help a population that struggles to help themselves. Overcoming addiction or alcoholism is a difficult obstacle that often seems impossible. However, over her 20-year tenure treating alcoholism and substance abuse, Meredith has a proven track record in improving the lives of others by achieving sobriety and gaining a fulfilled and happy existence.
Cooper earned her bachelor's degree in Sociology and her master's degree in Social Work from Stony Brook University. In her position, she oversees the clinical staff, ensuring patient safety and satisfaction in their treatment plan, comfort level, and experience at Sunrise. As a highly caring and passionate social worker at heart, Meredith considerably impacts those living with substance abuse challenges, guiding them to become their best self.
A Long Island native, Paul has been working in substance abuse treatment since 2009. He began his tenure with the Sunrise Detox team in 2017 at our corporate location in South Florida but is relocating back to his roots to spread awareness of our newest location opening in Brentwood, Long Island.
As an active participant in his own recovery, Paul dedicates his life to helping others struggling to achieve and maintain their sobriety. He provides a level of empathy and compassion that people find motivating and inspiring.
