Seek Counseling LLC

They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Brooklyn is set up for.

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 Brooklyn has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Brooklyn, not all of them do.

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

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Brooklyn often still has to be in person.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Calling several places on the same day is the normal approach rather than an impatient one. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
