Many of the people who call from Flatbush have already tried to stop on their own. They have been through outpatient counseling, they have made promises to family members, and they have reached a point where the cycle needs to break in a different environment. Urban Recovery is a highly rated rehabilitation provider in Red Hook, Brooklyn, offering medically supervised inpatient detox and residential rehabilitation for adults with substance use disorder. Call (646) 347-1892 to speak with admissions at any hour.
The stretch of central Brooklyn from Crown Heights through Flatbush has seen a rise in opioid-related calls and alcohol dependency cases in recent years. Inpatient treatment is the appropriate level of care when someone cannot safely detox without medical oversight, when outpatient attempts have not held, or when the home environment is not stable enough for early recovery.
Urban Recovery holds dual licensure from OASAS (New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports), covering one license for medically supervised inpatient withdrawal and stabilization and a second for inpatient rehabilitation services. Holding both licenses at the same address means a patient can move from detox into residential treatment without leaving the building or re-entering intake with a different organization.
Alcohol use disorder is the most common reason people seek inpatient detox in Brooklyn. Alcohol withdrawal carries the risk of seizures and, in severe cases, delirium tremens (DTs), a dangerous withdrawal state involving fever, confusion, rapid heart rate, and the potential for cardiac complications. Neither can be safely managed at home without clinical backup.
Urban Recovery's alcohol detox Brooklyn program includes 24-hour nursing oversight, vital sign monitoring, and medication administration to reduce seizure risk and manage withdrawal symptoms throughout the acute phase. Program length for alcohol detox typically runs five to seven days before transition to the residential program.
The residential program runs 35 hours of structured therapy per week, seven days a week. Group and individual sessions cover Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention, among others. Patients dealing with co-occurring depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma are assessed at admission and receive a treatment plan that addresses both conditions within the same program.
Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and Yoga are also offered and serve a distinct clinical function alongside the talk-based curriculum. Biofeedback, Acupuncture, and Fitness Training are part of the residential schedule as well.
Urban Recovery accepts Medicaid, state insurance, and major commercial plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Healthfirst, MetroPlus Health Plan, and Oscar. Insurance is verified before arrival at no cost. Flatbush residents can reach admissions around the clock at (646) 347-1892.
From the Flatbush-Nostrand Junction or Church Avenue stations, Urban Recovery is accessible by car or ride-share in approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

The area is one of the more densely populated parts of Brooklyn, with a significant West Indian and Caribbean community along Flatbush Avenue and in the surrounding blocks. The Q, B, and S lines stop at Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College, and the B41, B44, and B49 buses provide crosstown coverage.
Other Areas We Serve:
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab?
➢ Inpatient rehab means the patient lives at the facility around the clock, with 24-hour clinical oversight. Outpatient rehab means the patient attends sessions during the day and returns home in the evening. Inpatient is recommended when physical dependence requires medical detox, when prior outpatient attempts have not worked, or when the home environment is not supportive of early recovery.
Does Urban Recovery treat patients from Flatbush?
➢ Yes. Urban Recovery serves adults from across Brooklyn and the broader NYC metro area. Insurance is verified before arrival, and Medicaid is accepted.

➢ Urban Recovery treats co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma, within the same residential program.
