Start Treatment & Recovery Centers

Start Treatment & Recovery Centers Street Brooklyn NY. WPIX 11 interviewed Dr. Lawrence S. Brown Jr, MD, CEO of START Treatment & Recovery Centers on July 14, 2021. Dr. Brown discussed the government’s report that US drug overdoses rose nearly 30% last year, reflecting the pandemic’s toll on efforts to halt the nation’s opioid crisis and the spread of fentanyl.

We believe there is a right way to treat people and that’s with compassion, respect and combined care. Whether Their patients and adolescents are being given a second, third or 15th chance in life doesn’t matter––They are here to help make that chance a success.
