About

About Life Recovery Center

Life Recovery Center operates on the 3rd Floor at 1285 Fulton Avenue, within the Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center campus of BronxCare Health System. The program provides hospital-based medical detoxification and inpatient substance use treatment, leveraging the resources of a full-service community teaching hospital. As a Joint Commission-accredited program, Life Recovery Center serves adults across the Bronx and surrounding boroughs.

Medical detoxification at Life Recovery Center is delivered within the hospital setting, allowing close medical oversight for withdrawal management from alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Hospital-based inpatient care is particularly valuable for clients with complex medical comorbidities – including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, or chronic cardiovascular conditions – that benefit from immediate access to a full medical team. The program also serves clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, with psychiatry available within the BronxCare system.

The Life Recovery Center program reflects BronxCare’s mission as a South Bronx safety-net institution: care is structured to remove access barriers, with bilingual services across the network and acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and state coverage. Special populations including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, court-ordered clients, and clients living with HIV/AIDS are explicitly part of the program’s served populations.

For Bronx residents seeking hospital-based detox and addiction care, Life Recovery Center provides a clinically integrated option backed by one of the borough’s largest healthcare networks. The center coordinates closely with outpatient services elsewhere in BronxCare for continued recovery support after discharge.
