About Start Treatment & Recovery Centers – Williamsburg
Located in Brooklyn, New York, Start Treatment & Recovery Centers is an African American founded community organization that specializes in addiction recovery for adults. The services available at this facility include medication for opioid use disorder, mental health care and vocational counseling. Telehealth options are also available.
Intravenous drug users tend to have a higher chance of being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis. This center can help you address these conditions through testing and treatment. Health education will also be provided along with care navigation services to make sure you’re getting the appropriate care.
The medications offered at this facility are buprenorphine and methadone. Both medications are effective at reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This allows you to focus more on your recovery and reduces the chances of relapse.
Individual, family and group therapy are available to assist you with developing coping skills and treating any mental health disorders contributing to your addiction. If necessary, the psychiatrists on staff can prescribe medication for mental health disorders.
Economic instability can be stressful for clients and potentially put them at risk for relapse. Start Treatment’s Vocational Fulfillment Program is designed to help you attain financial independence through achieving education goals and career goals. They will also guide you in participating in the community through volunteering.
