Bedford-Stuyvesant sits in north-central Brooklyn, roughly four miles northeast of Urban Recovery's facility in Red Hook. For residents who need inpatient addiction treatment, Urban Recovery is the nearest established rehab center in Brooklyn with full CARF accreditation, dual OASAS licensure, and SAMHSA certification as an Opioid Treatment Program. Admissions operates around the clock at (646) 347-1892.
Bed-Stuy residents call for a range of reasons: an overdose event, an ultimatum from an employer or family member, a court order, or a moment of personal clarity after years of trying to manage substance use on their own. Families call on behalf of someone who has agreed to go but does not know where to start. What these situations share is urgency: a bed should be available, insurance should be verified the same day, and the clinical team should be reachable when the decision is made.
Urban Recovery maintains 24-hour admissions and verifies insurance benefits before the patient arrives, at no cost to the patient or family.
Opioid use disorder, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid dependence, is among the most common reasons adults enter inpatient treatment in Brooklyn. The opioid detox services at Urban Recovery use standardized assessment tools on admission to measure withdrawal severity and determine the appropriate medication protocol.
Medications available on-site include Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), Methadone, Buprenorphine, Sublocade, and Clonidine. Urban Recovery's SAMHSA OTP certification authorizes on-site Methadone dispensing, which not all residential facilities can offer. Patients who begin MAT during detox continue the same medication through the residential phase, with no gap or restart.
The residential program delivers 35 hours of structured therapy per week, seven days a week, across modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Seeking Safety, and Trauma-Focused Counseling. Co-occurring mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, codependency, and others, are treated within the same residential curriculum.
MAT medications continue through the residential phase. Discharge planning begins before the end of the inpatient stay and includes referrals to step-down outpatient care, MAT continuation providers, and peer support networks.
Urban Recovery accepts Medicaid, state insurance, and major commercial carriers, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, and Oscar. The admissions team confirms coverage and walks callers through what to expect financially before any decision is made. To start, call (646) 347-1892. No referral is required.
Bedford-Stuyvesant is one of Brooklyn's largest and most historically significant neighborhoods, spanning the area between Bushwick to the east, Clinton Hill to the west, Crown Heights to the south, and Williamsburg to the north. The neighborhood is known for its concentration of intact late-19th-century brownstones, many on tree-lined blocks between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue. Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street are the main commercial spines, served by the A, C, J, Z, and G subway lines. Bed-Stuy has undergone significant reinvestment over the past decade, with a growing presence of professional households alongside its established long-term community.
Other Areas We Serve:
Does Urban Recovery handle court-ordered admissions?
➢ Yes. Urban Recovery accepts court-referred individuals and can work with defense attorneys, probation officers, and case managers on documentation and timeline requirements. Call (646) 347-1892 to discuss specific court deadlines.
What happens between detox and residential treatment?
➢ At Urban Recovery, detox and residential treatment are at the same address. Patients transition from the 6-bed detox unit directly into the 30-bed residential program without leaving the facility or completing a second intake process. This eliminates the gap in care that commonly leads to dropout between phases.
How long is the total program?
➢ Program length ranges from 30 to 90 days depending on clinical need. The detox phase typically runs 5 to 10 days. The residential phase typically runs 21 to 28 days. Length of stay is guided by clinical progress, not a fixed calendar.
