Addictive substances hurt more than the teens that use them. The damage to family and friends can be profound. At the Center for Living, we make lives whole again by stressing early intervention and working to rebuild the family relationship.

Located in the heart of New York, our unique abstinence-based treatment program focuses on teens who abuse alcohol or drugs to cope with the uncertainties of adolescence and daily life. Our individualized methods and innovative 12-step program help teens develop positive personal values and form healthy relationships with peers, family members, school staff and others in their lives.

In the private, nurturing environment of our modern Manhattan facility, our caring staff works closely with teens and their families to help them learn to enjoy life again, drug- and alcohol-free.
