Meet Dr. Hughes
I have studied the positive effects medical marijuana has had on patients and I have become a believer in the benefits of medical marijuana and the advantages over opioid narcotics.
Sydney Hughes M.D.
Sydney Hughes MD is a Graduate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City and is Board Certified in Addiction Medicine. He is currently Attending Physician at Mercy Medical Center’s emergency department in Rockville Centre, NY. He first opened the doors of Long Island Detox in 2006 because a large vacuum existed on the south shore of Nassau County Long Island in the area of outpatient alcohol and drug detoxification programs. He believed Long Island detox could help fill that void and provide a valuable service to the community and those residents that needed help but not the type of help that involved confinement to a medical facility. He has helped numerous patients improve their health and wellbeing by finding them a natural approach to treat their most debilitating symptoms and/or condition(s). Offering prompt and discreet outpatient appointments and now also telehealth appointments which are an ideal choice for patients who find travel difficult, eliminating the need to sit and wait at the doctor’s office. Dr. Hughes continues helping those who require his experienced and knowledgeable guidance on their road to recovery.
