About Nushama

Nushama offers a holistic route to treating alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress (PTSD), and trauma using ketamine-assisted treatment. Although there are alternative ways to deliver ketamine, Nushama believes the most recent research indicates that intravenous (IV) infusions are the most secure and effective approach.
As a pioneer in the field of psychedelic medicine, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Steven Radowitz holds the view that illness is essentially a "dis-ease" caused by a breakdown of the trinity of the mind, body, and spirit. He and the team are regarded as best-in-class and among the most experienced globally. They have conducted hundreds of travels for mental disorders.
Nushama believes the environment you're in during treatment is crucial. When clients first enter the facility, Nushama goes to great measures to provide an immersive, journey-like experience. Everything has been carefully thought out so that your mind and body are prepared for healing when you start your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nushama accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (888) 853-3886 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other NY centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Nushama offer?
Does Nushama have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does Nushama use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Nushama?
Call the facility directly at (888) 853-3886 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
