Questions people ask about Damascus House
Which levels of care does Damascus House have?
They provide outpatient and inpatient residential, which is the whole of what this address in Brooklyn is set up for.
Does Damascus House offer a detox?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Brooklyn is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.
Is Damascus House an option for someone over 65?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Brooklyn that often means one room rather than two.
Is there a program at Damascus House for people like me?
They offer a program for veterans, which not every center around Brooklyn does.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Brooklyn, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does Damascus House prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe buprenorphine. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Brooklyn offers both.
Is there support after treatment finishes?
A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.
What should I be comparing?
Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
