The organization is a multi-location outpatient behavioral health provider with additional clinics in Brooklyn and Jamaica, Queens, and a long history of serving the Eastern District of New York.
Clinical services at this site center on outpatient substance use treatment for adults.

The program is designed for clients who can maintain stable housing and family or work routines while engaging in regular therapy, with telehealth available for eligible visits.

The program addresses substance use disorder along with co-occurring trauma, PTSD, and dual-diagnosis psychiatric conditions, reflecting a clinical model that integrates mental health and addiction care in one setting.
