Kew Gardens fits apartment buildings, pre-war co-ops, and attached homes into a compact grid around Lefferts Boulevard, with the E and F lines stopping at Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike. For a resident who needs inpatient care, Urban Recovery is an addiction treatment center in Brooklyn that provides detox and residential treatment at one Red Hook address, with CARF accreditation, dual OASAS licensure, and SAMHSA OTP certification. Admissions answers are available at (646) 347-1892 around the clock.
Urban Recovery accepts calls from anywhere in Kew Gardens, from the blocks east of Queens Boulevard to the apartment buildings along Lefferts Boulevard. No geographic referral is required, and a caller can begin the intake process during the initial call to the 24-hour line. The program treats adults 18 to 64, accepts Medicaid and most major commercial insurance, and verifies coverage before arrival, so families know the financial picture before admission is scheduled.
For patients searching for drug detox Brooklyn options, Urban Recovery covers the acute withdrawal phase for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, and polysubstance cases, with 24-hour medical oversight. After detox, patients transition into the residential program at the same address with the same clinical team. No transfer is needed.
People who have tried outpatient treatment and found it did not hold often need more structure. Residential care provides 35 hours of therapy per week, seven days a week, with 24-hour medical oversight.
Three features distinguish the program: dual OASAS licensure covering both detox and residential at a single address, SAMHSA OTP certification that allows on-site Methadone dispensing, and a non-institutional waterfront setting in Red Hook.
MAT medications available on-site include Suboxone, Methadone, Buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Naltrexone, and Clonidine. Patients with a co-occurring disorder, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, or ADHD, receive dual diagnosis treatment within the same program.
Urban Recovery accepts Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Carelon, Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, Oscar, MetroPlus Health Plan, WellCare, Coventry, Fallon Health, Humana Medicare, United Medical Resources (UMR), Medicaid, and state insurance. Benefits are verified at no cost before the patient arrives. Call (646) 347-1892 to confirm your specific plan.
Kew Gardens is a small, densely residential Queens neighborhood with Forest Hills to the west, Richmond Hill to the south, and Briarwood to the east. The E and F trains stop at Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike, and the Long Island Rail Road stops at Kew Gardens station. Queens courthouses are located here, and the housing mixes apartment buildings, attached homes, and pre-war co-ops. Lefferts Boulevard anchors the walkable retail blocks.
How does Urban Recovery differ from a hospital detox?
➢ Urban Recovery is a freestanding inpatient facility, not a hospital unit. Patients receive 24-hour medical oversight during detox, with chef-prepared meals and therapeutic programming in a residential environment rather than a clinical ward.
What insurance is accepted from Queens patients?
➢ Urban Recovery accepts most major commercial plans plus Medicaid, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Call (646) 347-1892, and the admissions team will verify your coverage before arrival, at no cost.
What does 35 hours of therapy per week mean in practice?
➢ Residential patients attend structured group and individual sessions from morning through evening, seven days a week. The schedule includes psychoeducation, skills groups, process groups, expressive therapy, and individual sessions several times per week.
