We are here for you
When people come here, they're often afflicted by a too always-on world. This is a quiet place. A welcoming place.
At the NY Center for Living, we believe that recovery continues beyond therapy sessions. We are dedicated to helping teens and families stay connected through our alumni program, peer support network, and community-building events.
We understand that recovery is more effective when shared with others. Our teens often share that the friendships and connections they develop here provide a strong foundation for their ongoing sobriety. Through various alumni activities, mentoring, and regular check-ins, our community ensures that every young person feels supported and knows they are never alone in their recovery journey.

Adolescent Treatment
Helping Adolescents Break Free from Nicotine and Substance Use
Comprehensive Support for Teen Nicotine and Substance Recovery
Nicotine Cessation
Additionally, NYCFL seeks to critically address the use of nicotine products by adolescents. Our psychiatrists can prescribe nicotine cessation products, including patches and lozenges, with the goal of eliminating nicotine use or, as we like to say, nip it in the bud!
Drug Testing
New York Center for Living provides urine drug screening and utilizes labs for confirmatory testing to provide an objective measure of substance use and ensure adolescents in both intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP) treatment are working towards the goal of sobriety and recovery.
