Questions people ask about NYC/HHC North Central Bronx Hospital

Is NYC/HHC North Central Bronx Hospital residential or day treatment?

They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Bronx has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what NYC/HHC North Central Bronx Hospital offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bronx, 1.9 miles away.

Is treatment available in Spanish at NYC/HHC North Central Bronx Hospital?

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Bronx are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Is there anything in Bronx besides paid treatment?

Bronx has 113 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

What special programs does NYC/HHC North Central Bronx Hospital offer?

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

Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.

Can I start this week?

It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.

Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?

There is a difference between asking for leave in advance and explaining an absence afterward, and the first position is much stronger. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
