About Parallax Center Inc.
Parallax Center in New York City, New York provides supervised detox and outpatient substance use programs including MAT for adults. They are unique in the fast-paced Big Apple in that they offer a non-opioid withdrawal protocol. This means that they don’t use the typical medications that many detox centers use such as methadone. They do this so that you’re able to achieve complete recovery from all analgesic medications.
Each client will have a specific treatment plan with a medication protocol designed for the substances they’ve used. Your treatment plan will focus on stabilizing your body and addressing symptoms that may come up once you’re no longer using substances.
The Parallax Center also offers MAT. This can be as an aftercare program following detox or can be your entry level into care. They offer Vivitro as an option you can choose from. One of the medications Parallax Center uses is naltrexone. This is an opioid receptor blocker that helps restore normal brain function and healing of your nervous system.
I like that before you leave detox, you’ll work with staff to create a discharge plan. This may include continuing treatment at The Parallax Center.
They also have an outpatient track, called Outpatient 822 Program. It combines counseling, medications, and various social support services to help you rebuild your daily routines without drugs.
They accept many commercial and Medicaid insurance plans but do not work with 1199 and Medicare insurance. Their billing specialists can help you get a clear breakdown of the costs if there are any out of pocket charges you can expect. All this will be taken care of before you enter treatment so that you don’t have to stress about paying for care.
