About Lower Eastside Service Center – Outpatient Maintenance Program – New York, New York

Lower Eastside Service Center – Outpatient Maintenance Recovery Early Clinic is an outpatient facility for opioid use disorder located in New York City, New York. They help men and women struggling with opioid dependence overcome their addiction and lead healthy lives.

This facility is open as early as 6:45 a.m. making them convenient for early appointments. The coolest thing about them is their unparalleled commitment to helping you overcome all barriers to your recovery journey. These include language barriers, criminal justice involvement, homelessness and health concerns such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. They also handle mild mental health issues and addiction with co-occurring conditions such as ADHD and depression.

This aligns with their core beliefs that nothing should stop you from achieving complete recovery from opioid dependence or substance use disorder. They specialize in medication assisted treatment. This combines FDA approved medicine with behavioral counseling and therapy to tackle both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Medicines such as methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone work to curb cravings and minimize withdrawal symptoms. At the same time, counseling and therapy help you address the underlying causes of your opioid addiction and build a robust coping mechanism against it.

This is a proven and popular approach to tackling addiction to substances such as heroin, fentanyl, prescription pain medications and alcohol. Their medication assisted treatment is rooted in compassion, understanding and dedication to whole-person healing via personalized care delivery. In addition, you benefit from a community of peers who’ll guide you through every step in your recovery journey. Aftercare services may include referrals to support groups and connections to community resources to access housing assistance, vocational training and more.
