Questions people ask about Genesis Detox of Brooklyn

What levels of care does Genesis Detox of Brooklyn offer?

They offer inpatient residential. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Brooklyn has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Genesis Detox of Brooklyn offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Brooklyn, a few streets away.

Which medications does Genesis Detox of Brooklyn prescribe?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Brooklyn.

Is there a program at Genesis Detox of Brooklyn for people like me?

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 12 named here.

Are there free support meetings in Brooklyn?

Brooklyn has 626 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Will they take my medication away?

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Is outpatient enough?

One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.

What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
