Questions people ask about Counseling Service of EDNY
What kind of care does Counseling Service of EDNY provide?
They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in New York, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Counseling Service of EDNY offer a detox?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Brooklyn offer one at all.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Counseling Service of EDNY?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Brooklyn that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Which medications does Counseling Service of EDNY prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Brooklyn, not all of them do.
Does Counseling Service of EDNY treat people who are pregnant?
They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Brooklyn is set up for it.
Is there anything after I finish?
A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.
What is different about mandated treatment?
The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for programs that take referrals in NY.
