Montefiore Medical Center — New Directions Recovery Center Outpt, Bronx, NY

Records on file indicate this program accepts both Medicaid and Medicare. Specific eligibility rules, covered services, and authorization steps differ by state and plan tier. The admissions team can run a benefits check and walk through any cost-share before you schedule.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is offered with Buprenorphine used in Treatment, Methadone used in Treatment, Naltrexone used in Treatment. These FDA-approved medications ease withdrawal and reduce craving while clients begin therapy. The treating physician sets dosing and the long-term plan based on an individual clinical assessment.

Intensive outpatient (IOP) typically runs 9 to 12 hours per week, with morning or evening tracks built around work and school schedules. Programming combines group therapy, individual sessions, and skills practice. Admissions can confirm the cohort schedule and which track has openings.

The young-adult track focuses on the challenges specific to this stage of life — peer dynamics, identity formation, and the move into independent living. Programming usually pairs traditional addiction therapy with career counseling and practical life-skills work.

LGBTQ+-affirming care is part of how this program operates. Clinical work attends to the realities of minority stress, family rejection, and discrimination that frequently sit alongside substance use. Staff training emphasizes culturally responsive, respectful care across every level of the program.

Gender-responsive programming gives women space to work on trauma, relationships, and parenting in a setting tailored to their needs. Some sites coordinate childcare or family housing alongside treatment. If pregnancy or postpartum care is part of the picture, ask admissions about pregnancy-safe protocols.

Trauma-informed practice runs through the program. Qualifying clients can access EMDR, somatic experiencing, and trauma-focused CBT alongside the standard clinical track. Staff are trained to recognize trauma responses and to keep the therapeutic environment physically and emotionally safe.

Aftercare planning starts well before discharge. Typical paths include step-down to outpatient services, referrals to sober-living homes, alumni group meetings, and warm hand-offs to community recovery resources. Many programs maintain alumni networks so peer support and accountability continue once formal treatment is complete.

Yes — both family counseling and marital or couples counseling are offered. Sessions are sequenced through the program and continue into aftercare. Working with relatives helps rebuild trust, name healthy boundaries, and prepare the home environment so it can hold up the recovery work after discharge.

Yes, this program is hosted inside a general hospital, so medical complications tied to withdrawal or co-existing conditions can be managed in-house. That matters most for clients detoxing from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids who also need medical oversight for other diagnoses during the acute phase of care.

Transportation assistance is part of the program — appointments, group sessions, and admissions logistics can be supported. Eligibility and service radius depend on the track: outpatient ride support, residential intake pickups, and aftercare appointment transport are typically handled through separate pathways. Admissions can confirm what fits your situation when you call.

Total cost depends on program length, level of care, and the specific services involved. Most sites can set up payment plans or point to outside financing partners. A confidential call to admissions gets you a tailored cost estimate for your situation rather than a guess based on a generic price sheet.
