Overdose prevention and naloxone planning in NYC

Safety planning for opioid, heroin, fentanyl, prescription opioid, and polysubstance risk, including naloxone access and follow-up care.

Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose when given in time. A prevention-focused visit can review overdose risk, opioid or fentanyl exposure, sedative or alcohol use, family safety planning, medication treatment, and follow-up.

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.

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.
