Bay Street 822 Program

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

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Brooklyn is the nearest place that does it, 2.8 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Staten Island.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Staten Island is something they handle.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Staten Island, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.

Outpatient keeps work, school and family going. Inpatient pauses them. Medical risk pushes toward inpatient care: withdrawal that needs supervision is not an outpatient problem. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
