What happens when you call (347) 741-7043

A placement advisor — not a clinician — picks up. You're not committing to anything. The advisor asks three things: what's going on, what insurance you have, and where you are. From there, we verify your benefits with your carrier in minutes, confirm which licensed inpatient programs in NYC and the surrounding metro have a bed available today, and walk you through the next step. If there's an immediate safety concern, we'll stay on the line while you connect with 988 or NYC Well at 888-692-9355. If inpatient isn't the right fit, we'll tell you — and point you toward the level of care that is.

Why inpatient — and why now

Inpatient rehab separates you from the environment that's reinforcing use. For fentanyl, polysubstance, alcohol with withdrawal risk, or any dual-diagnosis presentation (addiction + mental health), it's usually the starting point. NYC's drug supply is contaminated at historic levels — xylazine, medetomidine, bromazolam, and carfentanil are all now documented in OCME casework. Medically supervised detox followed by 28–90 days of inpatient care is the standard of care for these presentations. The programs we refer callers to are licensed inpatient and residential facilities across NY state and the broader tri-state region — most accept commercial PPO coverage, and many can admit within 24 hours.

Does insurance cover inpatient rehab in New York?

Most commercial PPO and HMO plans in New York cover inpatient addiction treatment. The average cost of a 30-day inpatient stay in New York benchmarks around $56,653 — almost all of which is covered when your plan is verified as in-network. We work with placement partners that accept Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, United, Empire BCBS, Humana, Oscar, MetroPlus, and most Blues plans. Out-of-network options are also available for most PPO plans. Call (347) 741-7043 to have your coverage verified in minutes — no cost, no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a treatment facility?

No. Clean Start Addiction Center is a referral and placement resource. We verify insurance, confirm bed availability at licensed inpatient programs across New York, and coordinate the handoff. Calls are answered by placement advisors, not clinicians.

Do I need preauthorization for inpatient rehab in New York?

No — not for in-network care. New York Insurance Law prohibits commercial insurers from requiring preauthorization for inpatient SUD treatment at OASAS-certified in-network facilities. Concurrent utilization review is also blocked during the first 14 days. (NYS DFS Circular Letter No. 14, 2017.)

What does inpatient rehab cost in New York?

The benchmarked average for a 30-day inpatient stay in NY is about $56,653, though most commercial PPO members pay only their copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Call (347) 741-7043 and we'll verify your specific plan in minutes.

Can you help someone who is not me?

Yes. A large share of calls come from parents, spouses, and adult children. We can walk you through how to set up a placement conversation, what to say, and what an intervention option looks like if the person isn't ready to pick up the phone themselves.

What if I need help tonight?

Call (347) 741-7043 — we have advisors answering 24/7. If there's a medical emergency, call 911. If it's a mental-health crisis, call or text 988, or NYC Well at 888-692-9355 (24/7, 200+ languages).

Do you work with people outside NYC?

Most of our placements are for callers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and Westchester. We can also coordinate referrals for callers in New Jersey, Connecticut, and upstate NY when a local bed is the right fit.
