New Era Rehabilitation

This clinic has changed a lot in the 3 years I have been a patient here. Not necessarily for the better. Unless your on the psychiatric program and meet with the worst Dr. I have ever met. Dr. Berkowitz is his name and he is the most arrogant, and rude professional I have ever met. I did meet him once and The first thing he said to me when he met me was, “ your depressed, aren’t you? “ I said , “ No, I’m not” . He never read one sentence in my medical record. He immediately wanted to put me on psychiatric drugs. He took a blood test which is supposed to tell the doctor which medications might work better than other types. He looked at the results of the test and said , “ I am gonna give you this prescription for depression.” I felt I had anxiety issues and was starting to have panic attacks and wanted a low dose anti anxiety medication but he wanted to prescribe a new antidepressant instead. From what I heard from other patients he was prescribing the same medication to most of the patients I met. The general consensus is he’s probably getting a kickback from the pharmaceutical company and that’s why he is prescribing the same medication to most people I talk to who see him. He has abruptly stopped patients on their benzodiazepines or cut back doses for no reason buy his own suspicions of misuse or abuse with no reason. He really should be not practicing in a clinic like this. He is only there one day a week, on Thursday. and he squeezes patient in and there is a long wait. I guess its hard to employ a doctor in this kind of clinic which probably doesn’t pay an appropriate salary. He doesn’t give a crap about his patients or sobriety or helping the patients. The only people that like him are a few of the counselors . He has a dry sarcastic sense of humor and assumes he knows everything about his patients without asking any questions. Do yourself a favor and if you have to see this doctor, don’t expect much from him but a prescription and a urine test. Do yourself a favor stay away from this doctor.

To my knowledge this is the only methadone clinic in New Haven which does NOT use the less expensive Methadose Brand Name Generic methadone. Methadose is generally considered to be an inferior product both in the medical community and among addicts. This clinic uses cherry flavored Methadone Oral Concentrate made by Roxane Laboritories. This costs more, however, and I tend to agree with other addicts in the community that it is superior to the methadone dispensed in the other clinics in the New Haven area. The councilors here are all good people in my opinion and I've never had any problems with the staff. For those who are new to methadone and not transferring from another clinic, you will be started at 30mg/day (on your very first day) and increase 5mg/3 days until you reach 60mg/day, after which you must see the doctor again to increase. This clinic does not seem to have a set cap, the highest dose I've personally witnessed here 155mg/day. For those who transfer from another clinic you may generally keep earned bottles and your dose. Also it has recently been brought to my attention that this clinic also offers Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex) treatment as well, for those looking for an alternative to methadone. Intake assessments are offered on Tuesday and Thursday morning only. It is advisable to come as early as possible as the Que to see the doctor can get somewhat long. The clinic's doctor is Ebenezer Kolade M.D.

An amazing place to be if in need to be free from the addiction lifestyles. Your treated like a person and not just another drug addict. Much respect for new era. They have completely changed my life for the best. Thank you!!!
