Greenwood sits roughly a mile and a half from Urban Recovery's facility in Red Hook, making it one of the closest Brooklyn neighborhoods to our campus. When someone reaches the point of needing inpatient care, finding a reputable recovery facility that can take them quickly matters as much as the clinical program itself. Urban Recovery operates 24-hour admissions at (646) 347-1892, and insurance is verified before arrival at no cost.
Urban Recovery, located at 411 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, holds CARF accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, dual OASAS licensure from the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports, and SAMHSA certification as an Opioid Treatment Program. These three credentials operate independently of each other, and holding all three simultaneously is uncommon among New York facilities. Greenwood residents are within a short drive or ride-share trip of a program that covers the full continuum from medically supervised detox through residential rehabilitation.
The facility operates 6 dedicated detox beds and 30 residential beds. Patients move from detox directly into the residential program without a facility transfer, which eliminates the gap in care where relapse risk spikes.
Withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous without clinical oversight. Urban Recovery uses standardized tools on admission, using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) for opioid patients and the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA-Ar) for alcohol, to determine withdrawal severity and shape the medication protocol.
Our drug detox services include on-site access to Suboxone, Methadone, Buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Naltrexone, and Clonidine. Patients who begin medication-assisted treatment (MAT) during detox, continue the same medications through the residential phase, with no interruption.
Residential treatment at Urban Recovery runs 35 hours of structured therapy per week, seven days a week. Modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, and Relapse Prevention. Patients with co-occurring anxiety, depression, PTSD, or trauma receive dual diagnosis care within the same program, with no separate referral needed.
Urban Recovery accepts Medicaid, state insurance, and most major commercial carriers, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Healthfirst, and Oscar. The admissions team verifies coverage before the patient arrives, at no charge to the patient or family. To start that process, call (646) 347-1892 at any hour. No referral is required, and the first call does not commit anyone to admission.
Greenwood takes its name from the Green-Wood Cemetery, a 478-acre National Historic Landmark along the western ridge of central Brooklyn. The neighborhood is bordered by Park Slope to the north, Kensington and Borough Park to the east, and Sunset Park below. The primary commercial corridors run along 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue, both served by the D, N, and R subway lines.
The area is predominantly residential, with a mix of attached row houses, brick apartment buildings, and co-ops. Over the past decade Greenwood has seen steady investment from homeowners and has a large contingent of working professionals and families.
