Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hosp

They provide inpatient hospital and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Greenport is set up for.

They provide detox for 3 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Greenport has 1 other center.

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Greenport has 1 other center if this one cannot.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 1 center near Greenport, not all of them do.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Greenport does.

Greenport has 10 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Four questions separate most programs: who prescribes, what the step down is, what it costs, and who it is built for. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask whether the center bills your plan directly or expects you to claim it back afterward.
