Questions people ask about Kings County Hospital Center - Wellness and Recovery Center OTP
Is Kings County Hospital Center - Wellness and Recovery Center OTP inpatient or outpatient?
They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Brooklyn has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
What does Kings County Hospital Center - Wellness and Recovery Center OTP detox from?
They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Brooklyn.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Brooklyn does.
Which medications does Kings County Hospital Center - Wellness and Recovery Center OTP prescribe?
They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Brooklyn.
Can any of this be done remotely?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Brooklyn.
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.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Confirm the program is on the approved list before the first session rather than after it.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
