Group therapy for addiction in NYC

Group support can help with accountability, skills practice, isolation, triggers, and relapse-prevention routines when it fits the treatment plan.

Group therapy can be useful for some patients, but it is not the right fit for every situation. A clinical review can help decide whether group support, individual therapy, medication, testing, or a higher level of care should come first.

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.

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.
