Frequently asked questions about Life Recovery Center

Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.

Life Recovery Center appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: The Joint Commission and State-licensed. You can verify this yourself at findtreatment.gov — we are not affiliated with this center and are not paid by it.

According to its federal listing, Life Recovery Center accepts Medicaid (New York Medicaid), Medicare, private insurance and military insurance / TRICARE. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 718-518-3700 before you rely on it.

We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that Life Recovery Center reports free or low-cost options and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Life Recovery Center reports offering Inpatient and Detox care. Its medical detox covers alcohol detoxification, benzodiazepines detoxification, cocaine detoxification, methamphetamines detoxification and opioids detoxification. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.

Its listed treatment approaches include substance use disorder counseling. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.

Yes — Life Recovery Center reports dedicated programming for veterans. Veterans may also be eligible for VA-funded substance-use treatment, which is worth checking alongside this center.

Yes — Life Recovery Center reports a program for pregnant or postpartum women. Pregnancy makes withdrawal management a medical priority rather than something to tough out alone, so call them before stopping any substance abruptly.

Life Recovery Center reports providing services in Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing. If language is a barrier for you or a family member, ask when you call — it changes how much of the treatment actually lands.
