Realization Center Inc., New York City, New York

Realization Center Inc. Overview

Realization Center Inc is a treatment facility that offers programs that are tailored toward addictions for patients who reside in New York State. The organization has two facilities within the State, one in New York City and another one in Brooklyn. Both of these facilities offer similar treatment services that are not only geared toward patients with substance abuse problems, but also to those with depression and other mental conditions that are keeping them from achieving their full potential in life.
Both of the facilities owned and operated by Realization Center Inc offer outpatient treatment programs that were designed to allow individuals undergoing treatment to have freedom while recovering from their addictions. There are no residential programs or inpatient solutions offered by these facilities. All patients are required to come in on specific days of the week, depending on their schedule, in order to attend sessions in groups or with their counselor, which will ultimately help them recover.

Housing at Realization Center Inc.

No housing options are available at Realization Center Inc as the facility has been established to only operate with patients that qualify for outpatient programs. None of the patients who undergo treatment at any one of the two facilities from this organization will be provided a residential service, but rather only meetings on certain dates in order to assist with the treatment of their addictions.

Treatment Options at Realization Center Inc.

While the Realization Center primarily promotes their effective addiction treatment programs, the organization has a number of other treatment programs that were designed for issues not directly related to substance abuse.
Prior to being signed up for any of these programs, a patient will need to undergo analysis with an intake counselor. The counselor will provide a questionnaire to the patient and discuss the various treatment options that are available. This would allow the patient to understand what the facility can offer them, as well as ensure the counselor can determine the most effective programs that would help the patient in their recovery.
The current treatment programs that are offered by Realization Center include:

• Chemical Dependency programs
• Professionals programs
• Adolescent programs
• Dual Diagnosis programs
• Food addiction program
• DWI/DUI programs
• LGBT program
• Veterans program
• Orthodox Jewish program
• Re-Entry program
• Chronic Relapse Recovery

Since each patient will present a unique case, the treatment provided to the patient would often include a combination of the options mentioned above that the facility offers. This would offer the patient a more personalized approach to dealing with their problems. As an example, in many cases, a patient with addiction would present symptoms of mental illness as well.
