Key Benefits

  • New Path Psychiatry is one of the only providers in the New York area offering in-home Vivitrol administration, bringing professional addiction treatment directly to your Brooklyn home. This exclusive service eliminates the stress of traveling to appointments during early recovery, providing treatment in the comfort and privacy of familiar surroundings.

    Brooklyn residents often face unique challenges accessing consistent medical care, from navigating busy public transportation to managing work and family responsibilities. Our in-home service addresses these barriers by bringing specialized addiction medicine directly to you, ensuring you never miss a critical treatment appointment due to scheduling conflicts or transportation issues.

    Each home visit includes a complete clinical assessment, professional injection administration, and comprehensive progress monitoring. Our specialists arrive equipped with all necessary medical supplies and documentation, creating a full clinical experience in your home environment. This approach has proven particularly effective for patients with mobility challenges, those managing anxiety about medical settings, and professionals who cannot easily take time away from demanding schedules.

  • Traditional addiction medications require daily adherence, creating opportunities for missed doses, medication errors, and the constant reminder of treatment. Vivitrol's monthly injection schedule eliminates these concerns while providing consistent therapeutic levels throughout the treatment period.

    Brooklyn's fast-paced lifestyle often makes daily medication schedules challenging to maintain. Between long commutes, demanding work schedules, and family obligations, many patients struggle with the daily discipline required for oral addiction medications. Vivitrol's once-monthly administration removes this burden, allowing you to focus on recovery goals rather than medication management.

    Each injection provides 30 days of consistent therapeutic coverage, blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids while reducing cravings. This reliability means you can engage more fully in counseling, therapy, and other recovery activities without the constant concern about medication timing or effectiveness. The monthly schedule also allows for regular check-ins with your treatment team, ensuring optimal outcomes and timely adjustments to your overall recovery plan.

  • Our practitioners receive specialized training in addiction medicine, understanding the complex neurochemical, psychological, and social factors that contribute to substance use disorders. This expertise ensures that your Vivitrol treatment is integrated into a comprehensive recovery approach that addresses both immediate needs and long-term success.

    Brooklyn's diverse population requires treatment providers who understand the varied cultural, economic, and social factors that influence addiction and recovery. Our team's specialized training includes cultural competency, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practices tailored to urban populations. This knowledge allows us to provide more effective treatment that acknowledges the specific challenges faced by Brooklyn residents.

    Beyond medication administration, our addiction medicine specialists provide ongoing assessment, relapse prevention planning, and coordination with other healthcare providers. This comprehensive approach ensures that your Vivitrol treatment works synergistically with counseling, therapy, and other recovery supports, maximizing your chances of long-term success while addressing the underlying factors that contributed to your substance use.

  • Recovery shouldn't be limited by traditional business hours. Our flexible scheduling options include evening and weekend appointments, ensuring that treatment fits seamlessly into your work and family commitments rather than disrupting your daily routine.

    Brooklyn's diverse workforce includes many professionals with non-traditional schedules, from healthcare workers and service industry employees to entrepreneurs and creative professionals. Our expanded scheduling options acknowledge these realities, offering appointment times that work with your existing commitments rather than requiring you to choose between treatment and other responsibilities.

    Evening and weekend availability also reduces the need to disclose treatment to employers or colleagues, maintaining your privacy while ensuring consistent care. This flexibility has proven particularly valuable for patients in high-demand careers, parents managing family schedules, and those whose work requires travel or irregular hours. Our goal is to eliminate scheduling as a barrier to recovery, making it easier to maintain the consistent treatment that leads to long-term success.

  • Recovery is most effective when all healthcare providers work together toward common goals. Our team specializes in coordinating Vivitrol treatment with your existing therapists, counselors, and other medical providers, creating a unified approach to your recovery.

    Brooklyn residents often receive care from multiple providers across different healthcare systems, from private therapists to community health centers. Our integration approach ensures that your Vivitrol treatment enhances rather than conflicts with other recovery supports, creating synergies that improve overall outcomes.

    We maintain regular communication with your existing care team, sharing progress updates, coordinating treatment adjustments, and ensuring that all providers understand how Vivitrol fits into your broader recovery plan. This collaborative approach prevents treatment gaps, reduces the risk of medication interactions, and ensures that all aspects of your recovery are working together effectively. For patients not currently under psychiatric care, we provide comprehensive evaluation and can recommend appropriate therapy and counseling resources throughout Brooklyn.

  • Vivitrol's effectiveness has been demonstrated in extensive clinical trials for both alcohol and opioid use disorders, with significant reductions in relapse rates and improved quality of life outcomes. This dual-purpose medication provides a single treatment solution for complex addiction patterns.

    Brooklyn's substance use challenges often involve multiple substances, making treatment selection complex. Vivitrol's effectiveness for both alcohol and opioid dependency means that patients with co-occurring use patterns can benefit from a single, comprehensive treatment approach rather than managing multiple medications or treatment protocols.

    Clinical studies show that patients receiving Vivitrol demonstrate significant improvements in maintaining sobriety, reducing cravings, and engaging more effectively in counseling and therapy. The medication's non-addictive nature means these benefits come without the risk of developing new dependencies, allowing you to focus on building lasting recovery skills and addressing underlying factors that contributed to substance use.
