Genesis Detox of Brooklyn - Rehabilitation Service IP

Medically Supervised Inpatient Care

Genesis Detox of Brooklyn offers 24-hour, medically supervised detoxification for people withdrawing from opioids, alcohol, and benzodiazepines. Located in the Sunset Park community, the facility provides a calm, clinical environment for short-term stabilization. The program also uses evidence-based medications, including buprenorphine and naltrexone, to reduce withdrawal symptoms and support safety and comfort throughout detox.

Focused, Substance-Specific Detox Programs

Each client receives an individualized detox plan aligned with their medical needs and substance type. Opioid detox generally lasts five to seven days and may use buprenorphine for tapering or stabilization. Alcohol detox averages four to eight days, often managed with Librium or diazepam to reduce medical risks. Benzodiazepine detox, typically six to ten days, involves careful tapering with long-acting medications. For polysubstance use, the team addresses each substance with integrated, physician-led oversight.

Compassionate Transition and Recovery Support

The program’s approach extends beyond detox, emphasizing planning for long-term stability. Clients participate in discharge planning, naloxone education, and recovery coaching to prepare for next steps in treatment. Support services include peer mentorship, self-help groups, and coordination for outpatient care and social resources such as housing or employment assistance. The focus is on ensuring each person leaves stabilized, supported, and connected to ongoing care options in the community.

Accessible and Inclusive Environment

Genesis Detox of Brooklyn serves adults and young adults of all genders in an inclusive, multilingual environment, with services available in Spanish, French, and Russian. The facility offers transportation assistance to reduce barriers to care, and designated smoking and vaping areas. The non-profit center accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-payment options.
