Greenwich House Training Turns Recovery Into Opportunity
For many people with opioid addiction receiving care in a hospital, the transition from inpatient treatment to ongoing recovery support can be uncertain. Without a clear pathway to follow-up care, patients are at risk of returning to drug use soon after discharge.
Since 2025, a partnership between the GH Center for Healing (CFH)and NYU Langone Health has been working to close that gap by creating a direct connection between hospital care and community-based treatment.
Through the collaboration, patients hospitalized at NYU Langone can enroll in treatment with the GH CFH through bedside telehealth, allowing individuals to begin the intake process while still in the hospital and transition directly into outpatient care.
The innovative program was recently presented by Marlene Duckoff, PA-C (pictured far right), a physician’s assistant at the CFH, at the New York Society of Addiction Medicine conference, where it drew strong interest from addiction medicine providers.
