Genesis Detox of Brooklyn LLC - MSW IP

Medical Detox That Prioritizes Safety and Stability

Genesis Detox of Brooklyn provides inpatient and outpatient detoxification using evidence-based detox protocols with medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when appropriate. Each detox plan is based on the client’s specific needs, with treatment durations typically ranging from 4 to 10 days. Individuals at high risk for seizures are referred to higher levels of care for safety.

Seamless Care in a Single Location

The center is one of the few locations in New York that offers both residential detox and outpatient treatment at the same site. This continuity reduces disruption between levels of care and helps clients stay engaged. The outpatient program includes day and evening options, group therapy, relapse prevention, and access to medical management for clients experiencing continued symptoms.

Streamlined Admissions and Help with Transportation

Walk-in admissions are welcomed, and same-day assessments can often be arranged, allowing clients to access detox services without long wait times or referral requirements. For individuals without reliable transportation, the admissions team can coordinate rides to the facility, making it easier and more accessible to begin treatment safely.

Peer-Led Support in a Family-Run Environment

Many staff members are in recovery themselves, so they can give first-hand perspective on clients’ recovery paths. Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPAs) play a central role in supporting clients through the challenges of detox and early stabilization. They offer emotional support and share practical tools for managing cravings and setbacks. CRPAs are available both on-site and in the community, offering continuity of support.

Strong Discharge Planning

While not a long-term rehab, the center’s care model includes aftercare and discharge planning. Staff work with each client to coordinate referrals to residential programs, outpatient counseling, and community-based supports. For many, Genesis serves as a safe and structured beginning on the path to recovery.

What Patients Say

Reviews of Genesis Detox are mixed but often heartfelt. Many patients credit the staff with helping them turn a corner in early recovery, describing them as caring, nonjudgmental, and respectful. The environment is described as clean, and the detox process generally well-managed. Criticisms tend to focus on the physical environment—coed sleeping areas divided by curtains and occasional noise or lack of privacy. Still, several patients cite Genesis as a crucial first step in their recovery journey, especially when other doors had been closed.
