Questions people ask about Genesis DOB
Which levels of care does Genesis DOB have?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Brooklyn has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Genesis DOB offers?
They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Brooklyn is the nearest place that does it, a few streets away.
Can I do this by video instead?
They do video appointments, which matters if Brooklyn is a drive for you.
Which medications does Genesis DOB 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.
Is there a pregnancy program at Genesis DOB?
They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Brooklyn may not have a second place set up for it.
What does insurance actually cover?
In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask which level of care the plan has already approved, and for how many days.
Can I start this week?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a call can answer it. Widening the search past your own county usually shortens the wait, because availability is uneven between neighboring areas. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
