Addiction Treatment & Recovery Program

Our addiction treatment program is licensed by the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (OASAS) and offers counseling for those seeking support in their recovery from drugs and alcohol. Program treatment is provided through individual and group counseling. Services include education & prevention, vocational counseling & support, toxicology, and advocacy.

We work in conjunction with community organizations to ensure individuals receive treatment. These organizations include:

NYS Division of Probation
NYS Division of Parole
NYS Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV); DWI (driving while intoxicated) classes
Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities (TASC)
NYC Administration for Children Service’s (ACS)

We accept Medicaid. Our agency also provides trained workers to assist clients in preparing the Medicaid application. For those who are found to be ineligible for Medicaid, we offer moderate rates for services and a sliding scale based on income and family size. Clients must be able to provide documentation to be found eligible for the sliding scale. No one will be turned away from treatment based on their ability or inability to pay.

If you are seeking assistance with managing addiction or need more information on our Addiction Treatment Program, call Community Health Action at 718.808.1428.
