Long Island Jewish Medical Center Methadone Maintenance Trt Program

The methadone maintenance program operates as an outpatient clinic, allowing participants to continue living at home while receiving daily medication and therapy services. This structure supports people who need medical assistance for opioid addiction but can maintain stability in their home and work environments.

Cognitive behavioral therapy sessions complement the medication component, helping participants develop practical skills for managing triggers and maintaining recovery. The combination addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of opioid dependency, creating a foundation for sustained sobriety in the recovery community.

Unlike traditional outpatient programs that operate during standard business hours, this recovery center provides round-the-clock access Monday through Sunday. This scheduling accommodates people working various shifts, those with family responsibilities, and individuals whose recovery needs don't align with typical clinic hours.

The continuous availability also provides stability for participants who require consistent medication timing. This flexibility removes common barriers to maintaining engagement in substance abuse treatment while supporting long-term recovery goals.

The program accepts a comprehensive range of payment options including Medicaid, Medicare, and major private insurance plans such as Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Anthem, Beacon Health, and Molina. Cash payment options are also available for those without insurance coverage.

This broad insurance acceptance removes financial obstacles that often prevent people from accessing ongoing addiction treatment. The variety of payment options ensures that opioid addiction recovery services remain accessible to diverse populations throughout the Queens community.

As part of the Northwell Health system, the program benefits from integration with broader medical services and electronic health records. This connection facilitates coordination with primary care physicians, specialists, and other healthcare providers involved in a participant's overall treatment plan.

The medical system affiliation also provides access to additional resources and referrals when participants need expanded services. This integration supports comprehensive recovery planning that extends beyond the methadone maintenance program itself.
