Questions people ask about OTP Avenue A Clinic
Which levels of care does OTP Avenue A Clinic 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 Brooklyn is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what OTP Avenue A Clinic offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New York, under a mile away.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of New York, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Which medications does OTP Avenue A Clinic prescribe?
They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to New York.
Does OTP Avenue A Clinic treat older adults?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in New York that often means one room rather than two.
Does support carry on after discharge?
Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
