Bushwick knows what it means to come back from rock bottom. This neighborhood has rebuilt itself more than once, and that kind of resilience runs deep in the people who live here. If you're struggling with drugs or alcohol, you don't need someone who just reads from a script. You need trusted addiction recovery centers that actually get what you're going through. Our facility in Red Hook is a straight shot from Bushwick, and we've spent years helping people fight their way back to a life that feels worth living.
Detox is brutal. Early sobriety is harder than most people realize. That's why the people guiding you through it matter. At Urban Recovery, we don't hand you off to whoever's available. You work with a team led by Program Director Amy Sirken and Medical Director Dr. Richard Gold, both of whom have years of hands-on experience managing withdrawal, cravings, and the emotional chaos that comes with getting clean. We're licensed by OASAS for medically supervised detox and inpatient rehabilitation, which means we meet the toughest standards New York State sets for treatment centers.
Everyone's path to addiction looks different. Maybe it started with a prescription after an injury. Maybe it's been going on for years. We build treatment plans that fit your actual situation, not some generic checklist. That includes medication-assisted treatment when it helps, individual counseling to work through the hard stuff, and group therapy where you'll connect with people who aren't going to judge you. Mental health gets treated alongside substance use because the two are almost never separate.
Our Red Hook facility sits on the waterfront with rooftop views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Bay. It's clean, calm, and nothing like the cold institutional places you might be picturing. You'll have the space to focus on yourself without the noise and chaos of the outside world pulling you backward.
We offer same-day admissions and accept all major insurance. Our team handles verification so you're not stuck on hold or buried in paperwork. You make the call, and we'll move things forward.
Bushwick is one of Brooklyn's original Dutch settlements, founded in 1661 as Boswijck. For over a century, it was the brewing capital of the Northeast, with German immigrants running 14 blocks of breweries along what locals called Brewer's Row. Today it's known for its street art, converted warehouse studios, and one of Brooklyn's largest Latino communities. The J, M, and L trains connect Bushwick to the rest of the city, and the geographic center of New York sits right here on Stockholm Street.
