Frequently asked questions about Wellness Center

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

Wellness 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, Wellness Center accepts Medicaid (New York Medicaid), Medicare, private insurance and self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 718-993-3397 x5047 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 Wellness Center reports a sliding fee scale based on income and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Wellness Center reports offering IOP and Outpatient care. 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 anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and 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.

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