About NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull
NYC Health + Hospitals Woodhull is part of the extensive NYC Health network of facilities throughout the area. Woodhull specifically is a multi departmental hospital in Brooklyn, New York. They have everything you’d expect of a hospital like an emergency room and surgery, but they also have a specialized behavioral health unit for chemical dependency.
Part of that chemical dependency center is an inpatient detox unit. The unit has 19 beds so you’ll have a fairly small group and can get individualized care from the medical staff. Throughout your detox you’ll have medical supervision 24 hours a day. They’ll make sure you’re safe and healthy. If any complications do arise, they’ll be able to treat them quickly.
The detox care here is an important first step but it’s only the beginning of your recovery. That’s why the chemical dependency unit here also has outpatient services to guide you through your recovery. They can offer ongoing support and guidance to help you better understand yourself and your addiction and learn how to develop new habits and lifestyles that benefit your sobriety. They have group therapy as well as peer support groups.
I think it’s worth noting, too, that this facility has comprehensive mental health care. A lot of people with substance use disorder also have co-occurring mental health conditions, and if you do too then their psychologists and psychiatrists can help you manage those conditions.
To be honest, the reviews for this hospital aren’t very positive. But the vast majority of those negative reviews seem to be for the emergency room, so the medical detox unit doesn’t have much to go by as far as client feedback is concerned.
