Start Treatment & Recovery Centers

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
