Im Still Standing by Grace

They provide outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Brooklyn is set up for.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Brooklyn has 8 other centers to compare.

Veterans are one of the 13 groups they offer a program for.

They do video appointments, which matters if Brooklyn is a drive for you.

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

Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.

Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
