Saint Josephs Medical Center

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 Bronx is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Yonkers, about a mile away.

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

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

Yonkers has 78 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.

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. Ask to be told if an earlier place opens, then check back rather than waiting to be called.
