Nao Medical

Addiction counseling in NYC

Individual counseling, group therapy planning, certified substance-use counseling support, and MAT coordination for addiction recovery.

Counseling can help patients understand triggers, cravings, stress, routines, trauma, relationships, work pressure, relapse risk, and recovery goals. For many patients, counseling works best when it is coordinated with medication, primary care, psychiatry, or social-work support.

Nao Medical accepts many major insurance plans for addiction medicine and behavioral-health visits, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. Coverage can vary by visit type, testing, counseling, medication, pharmacy benefit, and prior authorization requirements, so benefit verification is still important before care begins.

Individual psychotherapy

Therapy can address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, insomnia, family conflict, and stress that can affect recovery.

Group therapy and peer support

Group care can help with accountability, isolation, routine, and skill practice when it fits the patient's plan.

Certified substance-use counseling

CASAC-informed counseling support can help patients work through substance-use patterns, triggers, and required treatment goals.

What the visit can clarify

Cravings, triggers, routines, relapse prevention, relationships, legal pressure, work stress, grief, trauma, and practical recovery goals.

When psychiatry may help

Book an addiction medicine visit

If symptoms are severe, withdrawal feels unsafe, there is overdose risk, or a person may hurt themselves or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Addiction medicine visits are not a substitute for emergency care.
