Questions about this facility

Common questions about New York City Childrens Center Brooklyn Childrens Behav Health Clinic

Answered from public sources: SAMHSA listings, federal parity regulations, and our own admissions helpline intake notes.

Is New York City Childrens Center Brooklyn Childrens Behav Health Clinic listed in the SAMHSA Treatment Services Locator?

New York City Childrens Center Brooklyn Childrens Behav Health Clinic appears in our directory because it is sourced from the federal SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. The SAMHSA listing is the federal reference for licensed substance-use programs in the United States — inclusion requires active state licensure. If you want to verify independently, you can search by name or ZIP at findtreatment.gov.

How do I know if this level of care is right for me?

A good intake conversation at New York City Childrens Center Brooklyn Childrens Behav Health Clinic (or any SAMHSA-listed program) will walk through those dimensions before recommending a level of care. If you would like help thinking through the fit first, take our 2-minute self-assessment.

Is calling confidential? Will my employer find out?

Substance-use treatment records are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal rule stricter than HIPAA. An employer cannot access your records without a court order or your written consent. Insurance claims will reflect that behavioral-health services were provided, but not the diagnosis or the content. Calls to our helpline and to New York City Childrens Center Brooklyn Childrens Behav Health Clinic directly are confidential.

What happens if I call the helpline instead of the facility?

Our helpline ((866) 777-GUIDE) is answered 24/7 by licensed admissions counselors.
