Jamaica Estates is a quiet neighborhood of large detached homes on private streets, and privacy matters to many people considering treatment. Urban Recovery, a premier addiction recovery facility in Red Hook, Brooklyn, provides inpatient detox and residential care outside the neighborhood, and every admissions conversation is confidential under HIPAA. The admissions line at (646) 347-1892 is open 24 hours a day.
Urban Recovery treats benzodiazepine dependence at 411 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin act on the same brain receptor system as alcohol, which is why stopping abruptly after heavy, long-term use can cause seizures without warning. Medically supervised detox, rather than tapering at home, is the recommended level of care for significant dependence.
Many adults begin taking these medications for anxiety or sleep, and dependence can develop without anyone intending it. The clinical team at Urban Recovery holds dual OASAS licensure and CARF accreditation and builds each detox protocol around the patient's substance history, medical profile, and withdrawal severity.
The benzodiazepine detox services at Urban Recovery use a controlled taper under 24-hour medical supervision. Staff assess withdrawal at admission with standardized tools, check vital signs often during the highest-risk window, and intervene if symptoms escalate.
Benzodiazepine detox usually runs longer than alcohol or opioid detox, sometimes one to two weeks or more, depending on the dose, the length of use, and the specific medication involved. After the acute phase, patients move directly into the residential program at the same address, with no transfer and no repeat intake.
Residential care delivers 35 hours of structured therapy per week, seven days a week. Individual sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Patients with anxiety, PTSD, or trauma alongside benzodiazepine dependence receive dual diagnosis care within the same program. The Red Hook setting is a waterfront building with a private rooftop, an in-house chef, a fitness room, and an art room, not a hospital ward.
Urban Recovery accepts Medicaid and most major commercial carriers, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Oscar, Humana Medicare, and United Medical Resources (UMR). Insurance is verified before arrival at no cost. Patients can often enter the program within days of the initial call to (646) 347-1892.
Jamaica Estates sits on high ground in Queens, with Hillcrest to the east, Fresh Meadows to the north, and Jamaica Hills to the south. Large detached homes, many built in the early 20th century, line its private streets. The F train stops at 169th Street, and QM express buses serve the area.

Is benzodiazepine withdrawal dangerous?
➢ Yes. Benzodiazepines and alcohol affect the same GABA receptor system in the brain, and abrupt discontinuation after significant physical dependence can cause seizures without warning. Medically supervised detox with a controlled taper is the recommended approach for moderate to severe dependence.
Can Urban Recovery treat someone who takes other prescription medication?
➢ The clinical assessment at admission covers all current medications, medical history, prior withdrawal episodes, and any history of seizures. The medical team builds the withdrawal plan around that full picture. Call (646) 347-1892 to discuss a specific medication situation before arrival.
What languages are services offered in?
➢ Urban Recovery provides clinical services in English, Spanish, and Russian. Patients can receive therapy and medical intake in their primary language. Call (646) 347-1892 to confirm availability.
