Westchester Jewish Community Services

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.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Yonkers is the nearest place that does it, about a mile away.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Yonkers.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Yonkers offers both.

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

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

Most of the time, partly, and the share depends on the plan rather than on the center you pick. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
