Finding the proper addiction treatment shouldn't mean traveling across the city or leaving your community behind. If you live near Gowanus Canal and you're struggling with substance use, we want you to know that real help exists close to home.
Our facility serves as the best local rehab for residents who need serious medical care without the stress of being far from familiar surroundings. We've seen too many people put off getting help because they couldn't find quality treatment nearby—that'spreciselyy why we're here.
When you walk through our doors, Urban Recovery puts your safety first during detox. Dr. Richard Gold leads our medical team, working alongside Assistant Medical Director Joseph Turkel to make sure you're monitored around the clock. Detox can be scary—we get that.
Your body is going through fundamental changes, and you might feel uncertain about what comes next. Our job is to keep you safe and comfortable while your system clears, then help you transition into the rehabilitation phase when you're ready.
Your story is different from everyone else's, so your treatment should be too. We sit down with you to understand what led you here, what you've tried before, and what you want your life to look like moving forward. Maybe you've been to rehab before and it didn't stick. This may be your first time getting help.
Either way, we build your treatment plan around you—not the other way around. Our OASAS licensing means we meet state standards for inpatient rehab, but more importantly, it means you can trust us to provide genuine, professional care.
We earned our CARF certification because we wanted to prove that we do things right. This isn't just a piece of paper on the wall—it means outside experts reviewed our programs, our staff qualifications, and our patient outcomes, then said we meet their highest standards.
You deserve treatment that actually works, not just treatment that sounds good on a website. Our certification gives you confidence that the care you receive here has been tested and approved by people who know what quality addiction treatment looks like.
Money shouldn't keep you from getting clean. We accept all types of insurance, and our admissions team handles the paperwork so you don't have to worry about it. You've got enough on your plate right now—figuring out deductibles and coverage limits shouldn't be one more thing stressing you out.
Call us, and we'll verify your benefits and tell you exactly what your insurance covers. If there are any costs you're responsible for, we'll explain them upfront so there are no surprises later.
The Gowanus Canal neighborhood has come a long way from its industrial past. Artists, young professionals, and families have moved in, creating a community that feels both authentic and forward-looking. You're close enough to Manhattan for work but far enough away to have your own space.
The canal itself is being cleaned up, and new developments are bringing life back to the waterfront. It's a neighborhood in transition—kind of like recovery itself. There's respect for what came before, but also excitement about what's possible.
Don't wait another day to get the help you need. Call our admissions team right now and let's talk about how we can help you get your life back on track.
