Polysubstance use treatment in NYC

Care planning when more than one substance is involved, including overdose risk, withdrawal safety, medication interactions, counseling, testing, and follow-up.

Using more than one substance can make treatment more complex. The first visit should clarify what is being used, timing, withdrawal risk, overdose risk, medication interactions, mental-health symptoms, and whether outpatient care is safe.

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.
