About The Hook Recovery Center

The Hook Recovery Center is an upscale rehabilitation facility under development in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The facility will provide residential treatment services for individuals recovering from addiction. The program differentiates itself from current high-end alternatives by combining the benefits of the traditional 12-step program of recovery with individualized care that is innovative and cutting edge. The Hook is groundbreaking in its approach to individualized care by understanding each of our patient’s needs and truly implementing customized recovery programs accordingly.

WHO

A passionate management team with extensive industry experience joining with industry leaders and a leading multi-disciplinary team of Directors, Doctors, Psychiatrists, Therapists and Nurses. These top professionals are committed to an abstinence based residential model focused heavily on individualized care.

WHAT

The Hook is a 30 bed, first rate inpatient rehabilitation facility for self-pay clientele with a 6 bed intensive detox unit. Our program is truly unique in its clinical approach to individualized care by understanding each patient’s needs, and implementing customized recovery programs to support recovery, leading to self-sufficiency, and an improving quality of life for each and every patient.

HOW

Our program includes one-to-one therapy, lectures, group therapy and outside experts as part of the therapeutic process. The Hook subscribes to a holistic approach of providing a variety of proven interventions and methodologies in the provision of care. This includes nutrition, exercise, music, yoga, and acupuncture to assist with post-acute withdrawals.

WHY

Studies prove that those suffering from addiction have better outcomes when they remain local and close to family. Currently, there are no upscale rehab options for patients seeking recovery in New York City. Patients are forced to leave their families to travel great distances down south and far west to get the help they need. Compared to the rest of the United States, NYC is lacking high-end addiction rehabilitation facilities.

WHERE

State of the art facility in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Patients will enjoy comfort, compassion and privacy in a setting that feels like home. Amenities will include serene outdoor space, art and music studios, a business suite, as well as a fitness center and yoga studio.
