New York City Childrens Center

They are set up for 4 levels: outpatient, telemedicine, inpatient residential and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of New York, 3 offer a bed.

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 New York has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near New York offers both.

New York has 1,112 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for New York specifically.

They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and New York may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask whether the length is set by the clinical team or by what your plan approves.
