Counseling Service of EDNY

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and West Hempstead is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Hempstead has 8 other centers to compare.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Hempstead.

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Hempstead offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 7 things they offer a named program for.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Hempstead.

Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.
