About Samaritan Daytop Village Grand Concourse Opioid Treatment Program
If you're out and about in the historic neighborhoods of the Bronx in New York, you'll run across Samaritan Daytop Village's Grand Concourse Opioid Treatment Program. Located just a 30-minute walk from Yankee Stadium and The Bronx Museum of the Arts, the clinic is also within walking distance of the 138th St and Grand Concourse subway station. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for adults aged 18 and older who want to recover from an opioid use disorder (OUD).
FDA-Approved Medications for OUDs
The first step for most people who struggle with opioid use is detox. The MAT program uses FDA approved prescriptions to help patients experience a smoother transition into recovery. After getting your medical history, the staff will determine whether methadone or Suboxone is the best fit for your situation.
Integrated Support for Addiction Recovery
Medication helps with the physical side of addiction, but there’s a lot more to recovery than stopping in to get your meds. Counseling is huge, and it’s a requirement to be part of the MAT program.
The comprehensive mental health support patients receive here is priceless. Not only will you have counseling sessions, but you’ll also work with peer support. Sometimes just knowing the people who’re helping you have walked in your shoes can change everything.
Another way they help patients is by integrating social services into recovery. That means they can help you find housing or prepare for employment. Everything here works together to make sure you’re not doing recovery alone.
Help for Your Family
Most families want to help, but they don’t know what to do when a loved one is struggling with addiction. Your family can get tips to guide you while you’re in recovery. And if you’re a parent yourself, specialized counseling is available to help you connect better with your kids.
Samaritan Daytop Village Grand Concourse Opioid Treatment Program helps patients regardless of their financial situation. One patient appreciated that and the “ton of services they offer for people of all walks of life.”
