Beyond Meetings: Treatment Near Brooklyn

Treatment options in Brooklyn range from outpatient counseling to detox and residential care. Medications for opioid use disorder, including methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, are evidence-based and work alongside NA rather than against it.

NYC’s hospital-based Relay overdose response program expanded to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn in February 2026, connecting people who’ve had a nonfatal overdose with peer support in the emergency department.

Search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code for a licensed provider near you, or call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24/7.

Overdose Prevention and Naloxone

Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose. Every pharmacy in New York State can dispense it under a statewide standing order, and it’s also sold over the counter.

• Free naloxone kits at participating Brooklyn pharmacies and NYC Health’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs, plus 24/7 public health vending machines.
• Insurance copay help of up to $40 through the state’s Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program.

New York’s 911 Good Samaritan Law protects both the caller and the person who overdosed from certain drug possession charges. Find a pickup location through the NYC Health naloxone finder.
