About First Step To Recovery

First Steps to Recovery Brooklyn sits just a few blocks from the water in Brighton Beach. It’s an outpatient center in Brooklyn, New York that helps people get sober and work through whatever else they’re carrying like trauma, mental health struggles and family issues without having to leave their life behind.

Outpatient Rehab with MAT

You can come in for regular outpatient therapy sessions or, if you need something more structured, they offer an intensive outpatient program where you’re here more often but still sleep in your own bed. They also do medication assisted treatment using buprenorphine or naltrexone to help you through withdrawal more safely and sustain your sobriety while building the skills and growth for long term recovery. They lean on approaches like CBT, motivational interviewing, trauma therapy and relapse prevention.

Treating Adults Including Those with Unique Circumstances

This place works with adults and seniors including young people just starting out on their own. I appreciate that they also have specialty treatment for veterans, LGBTQ+ folks, and anyone living with both addiction and mental health challenges.

They also have experience supporting people who’ve been through trauma or domestic violence. They make a point of serving the local community as well by offering sessions in Russian and Polish for anyone more comfortable in those languages, which I think is an important way of making treatment more inclusive.

Funding Your Treatment for Insurance

They take Medicaid, most private insurance, state programs or cash. Smoking and vaping aren’t allowed on site, so plan for that.

Brighton Beach and Coney Island are right nearby if you want a walk along the boardwalk after your session. Sheepshead Bay and Marine Park are close too if you just need a quiet spot to sit and think.
