Questions people ask about Housing Works Community Healthcare
Which levels of care does Housing Works Community Healthcare have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Ozone Park is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Housing Works Community Healthcare offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Brooklyn, 1.9 miles away.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Brooklyn, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Can Housing Works Community Healthcare handle a court referral?
Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 2 things they offer a named program for.
Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language and Creole as well as English, which not every place around Brooklyn does.
What happens after a program ends?
A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Outpatient care often continues for months after a residential stay, at a few hours a week. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.
Is 30 days enough?
The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.
How long is the wait?
Waits tend to be shortest at the levels of care people ask about least. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
