Halfway House
306 West 102nd Street
New York, NY 10025

The Addiction Institute of  New York's Halfway House is located just off Riverside Drive in a quiet, residential neighborhood on the upper west side of Manhattan. It is more of a temporary home than a treatment facility to the 24 uniquely diverse residents. Residents stay for a period of three to six months while pursuing housing as well as vocational, educational, and continued recovery plans. Our goal is to assist the individual in becoming a drug-free, productive member of society.

A six-story brownstone, complete with dining room, library, television room, music room, private bedrooms, and community room, the Halfway House provides all the amenities of home in a safe, sober, drug-free, and supportive environment.

Daily chores are an integral part of the program in the Halfway House. These tasks help to instill structure and responsibility back in the lives of our residents. Socialization skills development is fostered through recreation activities, teamwork and informal discussion groups held in the lounge during evening hours. Regular community meetings help resolve community problems and help develop problem-solving skills.
Shortly after admission, new residents begin treatment in our Outpatient Department. In addition to group therapy, individual counseling and self-help groups, our very highly regarded Vocational Rehabilitation Department immediately begins an assessment process that may lead to on-site General Equivalency Diploma classes, preparation for college, vocational training, or return to employment. Medical, and if necessary, psychiatric services are provided.

In addition to having a counselor in the Outpatient Department, we also provide a counselor in the Halfway House, who can help with problems during off hours. Support staff is available in the house 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
