About New York Center for Living

At New York Center for Living, the team provides evidence-based, outpatient treatment for individuals and families struggling with substance use and other co-occurring mental health issues. They help clients develop a strong foundation of recovery that supports principled decision-making, healthy choices, and adaptive life-stances.
Their coordinated care and resource support includes single service treatment, short-term options, crisis intervention, and wellness services. They also offer direct access to on-site psychiatry (even without full program enrollment). A board-certified psychiatrist provides evaluations and thorough assessments to guide treatment planning; medication management, integrated care for dual diagnoses, and adaptive, flexible treatment for the whole family.
The group therapy program focuses on the development and utilization of coping skills to support clients in long-term recovery. The curriculum draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivation enhancement therapy (MET), harm reduction, and 12-step recovery approaches. These groups reduce isolation and allow members to witness the recovery of others—and these qualities draw clients into a culture of recovery.

Private non-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, treatment for co-occurring substance use plus either serious mental health illness in adults/serious emotional disturbance in children.
