About The Brooklyn Hospital Center

The Brooklyn Hospital Center operates a medically managed Detox Unit at its Fort Greene campus, providing hospital based inpatient detoxification for adults and families across the New York metropolitan area.

The program treats withdrawal from alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, pain medications, amphetamines and sedatives through 3 to 7 day stays with 24 hour nursing supervision. Licensed by NYS OASAS, the unit delivers stabilization and aftercare planning in a private, interdisciplinary setting designed to honor patient dignity and ease the transition to ongoing recovery.

Hospital Based Medical Detoxification in Brooklyn

The Detox Unit specializes in medically managed withdrawal for patients requiring clinical monitoring and comfort care during early recovery. Led by a New York State licensed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, the care team includes medical doctors, registered nurses, nutritionists and counselors who coordinate treatment around the clock.

During your stay, you will receive medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms, individual and group counseling, relapse prevention programming and discharge planning support. The interdisciplinary team addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of detox, with built in help identifying and transitioning to an appropriate rehab program after stabilization.

Privacy Focused Care in a  Dedicated Hospital Wing

The unit occupies its own floor at 121 DeKalb Avenue, featuring quiet, semi private rooms away from other hospital activity to protect confidentiality. Supportive services include art therapy and multifaith pastoral care alongside clinical programming, helping patients ease withdrawal in a calm, structured environment.

The Brooklyn Hospital Center Detox Unit serves patients in person at its Downtown Brooklyn location with 24/7 phone intake available at 718 250 8900. The program is OASAS licensed and staffed by credentialed addiction and medical professionals. Most major insurance plans are accepted, including Aetna, Cigna, EmblemHealth, Medicaid, Medicare and others, with financial assistance available through hospital billing.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Clients who enroll in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) are typically either in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that increases their relapse risk. These programs promote clients' sustained sobriety through robust support, including multiple, extended care sessions per week. Intensive outpatient treatment often encompasses an array of services, including psychotherapy, recovery education, and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and meditation. Many outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Clients in rehab aftercare programs receive a customized portfolio of services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. These clients have completed high-level treatment, are typically exiting detox and/or intensive inpatient care and are reintegrating into their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services address addiction disease as a chronic condition requiring continuing care. Clients typically work with case managers and recovery teams to access necessary resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction support.

A drug intervention in New York occurs when family members and friends lovingly confront someone with a substance use disorder. The goal of this confrontation is to motivate the person to seek treatment. Loved ones point out how the person's destructive behavior is affecting them in hopes that they will agree to get help. Most inpatient rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families walk through this process step by step.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New York is a short term therapeutic method used to treat substance use and mental health disorders. CBT typically lasts from five to 20 sessions, based on the individual's needs.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy involves working through the psychological and emotional impact of a traumatic event. You learn to identify the triggers and develop coping mechanisms that build a sense of safety and trust in yourself.

You can participate in couples therapy to focus on a specific problem in your relationship or for general strengthening of the relationship. This therapy aims to help you improve communication, address conflict, and grow in affection for one another.

Family therapy helps individual members of the family unit navigate the complexities of addiction. Therapists provide you with the tools you need to improve communication skills and conflict resolution. When families work together, they can support their loved one's recovery and help to restore balance and harmony within the household.

Coping with day to day living is a challenge while in addiction recovery. Life skills training helps you learn how to manage daily tasks and deal with stress in healthy ways. This is key to long term recovery.

Always nasty attitudes. I called in the morning with questions about my prescription refill because my doctor ignores my messages and it’s impossible to get in touch with her. She literally SCREAMED at me that I called too early. I was in shock. Will be switching to more mentally stable people immediately. Oh yeah and another time, I finished my appointment and went to another area where a woman was sitting behind a computer so I can set up my referral appointments. While we were seeking them up, I asked a follow up question about the new medication I was going to be taking. I simply and kindly asked “by the way where is the pharmacy?” She looked at me in the face in an annoyed expression and said “I’m not done with you” because she thought I was leaving in the middle of setting up the appointments that I REQUESTED?!? Like, it’s common sense I’m not going anywhere. But regardless it was just rude and unprofessional.

Terrible, incompetent staff with terrible attitudes. The lack of urgency and basic professionalism is unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting. Someone could genuinely die in a place like this because staff fail to take patients’ concerns seriously.
