Key Extended Entry Program (KEEP)

Narco Freedom's Key Extended Entry Program (KEEP) is a methadone-to-abstinence program designed primarily for heroin abusers who have never received previous treatment. This program originated at Rikers Island to service inmates who needed after-care treatment. The program covers six (6) months and focuses on assessing the client's needs, developing appropriate treatment planning and, if necessary, discharge to a long-term recovery program. Participants in the KEEP program are often referred upon discharge from Rikers Island. Participants receive a complete bio-psychosocial assessment, individualized treatment planning, physical examination, medical services, individual counseling, group counseling, psychiatric services, assistance with entitlements, case management services, vocational assessment, appropriate linkages and referrals. Our overall goal is to help the individual overcome their addiction so that they may embrace a drug-free lifestyle and become productive members of society.

Narco Freedom, Inc. has served thousands of heroin-addicted individuals. Narco Freedom's treatment facilities have received the highest ratings by regulatory agencies such as New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), New York State Department of Health, United States Center for Substance Abuse and JCAHO (Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations).

Criteria for Admission:

Individual must be 21 years of age or older

Over 40 years of success

Some people appear to become addicted almost immediately, while others may use for years without apparent consequences. The question is critical for individuals wondering about their own use -- and the families, friends and employers who care about them.

Why Choose Us?

Since its inception, Narco Freedom and its affiliates have cared for thousands of addicts and their families; the current census is over 6,500 patients in treatment for alcohol and other drug addiction, and more than 30,000 patients, family members and community residents served through medical, mental health, case management, and other support programs.

Narco Freedom has extensive experience dealing with government agencies around licensing, rate setting, and compliance with regulations. The program is licensed by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services and the Department of Health as an Article 28 facility; Article 31 license regulates mental health. The agency meets the requirements for licensing by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.

Narco Freedom supports a full complement of service offerings to meet the needs of program participants. For example, Narco Freedom sponsors five methadone maintenance programs and three methadone to abstinence programs across the City. The Narco Freedom Methadone Maintenance Treatment component employs the "wrap around" model of care that increases continuity of care and protects vulnerable clients from "falling through the cracks".
