About Coney Island Hospital CD/Dept Behav Health Clinic Component
Located at the Ida G. Israel Community Health Center on West 16th Street in Brooklyn, New York, Coney Island Hospital CD/Dept Behav Health Clinic Component is a substance use treatment facility operating under the NYC Health + Hospitals system. Serving Brooklyn, Coney Island, and Kings County, this Joint Commission-accredited program runs 24 hours a day every day of the week — a critical detail for anyone facing a time-sensitive withdrawal situation. The facility is certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), positioning it as a formal medical resource rather than a community-based counseling office.
The center offers two distinct levels of care: medical detox and an outpatient program. Medical detox provides supervised withdrawal management for patients who require clinical oversight during the detoxification process. The outpatient program allows patients to continue treatment while living at home, structured for those who have completed detox or whose clinical needs can be addressed without residential placement. Both levels of care are available within a facility that maintains around-the-clock operational hours.
Clinically, the program addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, meaning patients dealing with both substance use and underlying mental health conditions — including trauma and PTSD — can receive integrated care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the therapeutic framework. The facility offers services in both English and Vietnamese, and staff provide HIV/AIDS support as part of the broader care model.
The center serves a notably broad range of populations: veterans, pregnant women, young adults between 18 and 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with hearing impairments, and those entering treatment through court orders. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. For Brooklyn residents who need medically supervised detox within a publicly accountable hospital system — and who require flexible payment options — this facility covers ground that many standalone detox centers do not.
