Start Care – New York Detox and Rehab Services

What Start Care – New York offers, on record, is intensive outpatient and outpatient care. The structured element runs during the day and people go home afterwards. Anyone unsure which level fits should ask for an assessment rather than choosing from a list, since placement criteria exist precisely to make that judgement.

Only one side is on record here, so ask directly if both are needed. Medication and talking treatment run together under clinical oversight. It is worth asking how many hours a week the program runs, because that decides whether it fits around everything else.

Start Care – New York Address, Location and Contact Information

The site is at 2191 3rd Avenue in New York, New York, 10035. This address falls in New York County. The catchment reaches beyond the city itself. How someone gets there matters more than it sounds: travel is one of the commonest reasons a course of treatment stops partway.

Phone ahead about parking, access and what the first appointment covers. If getting there is hard, ask about a remote first appointment. Admissions lines are frequently busiest early in the week, which is worth knowing if the first attempt fails.

Been on this clinic a little more than a year, Alex is a great counselor, doctor and Juana are absolute sweethearts, Justin & security staff are great people. I come every two weeks, I try to attend the groups when I… can, the clinic helped me find school/employment, I have nothing but positive things to say. Thanks for the excellent work and support system.

Jae Ruiz3 years ago

My experience at the START program has been great. From my intake to recertifications, the doctors, and counselors have been very knowledgeable and supportive. The program director) Ms. Ford is an amazing person,… thoughtful, and extremely helpful. START treats their patients like people regardless of their condition, it’s a safe nonjudgmental facility. I have been in clinics that were worse than probation. I personally have never done well in that type of setting. START will 💯 help you achieve sobriety especially when you are willing to help yourself. 🙏🏽 It’s your life and it’s worth fighting for 💪🏽

Disorganized administration and revolving door of clinicians due to what I can assume is insufficient pay and unreliable management. It’s better than nothing?

They have to get better with the program, there is very little help for people that are homeless, and they need to come up with problems that get people jobs
