Independence Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Abuse Treatment

Narco Freedom Independence Program provides services directed toward alcohol and other drugs with alcohol being the primary drug of abuse in most cases. The program offers intensive alcoholism counseling and education, family therapy to three populations - alcoholics who are self referral or referred from other area programs (including detoxification centers), alcoholic clients of Narco Freedom's Methadone programs, and individuals who struggle with problems because of the impact of the alcohol abuse of significant others in their lives.

Independence provides clients with an extensive bio-psychosocial assessment, physical examination, individual and group counseling, health and specific HIV education, vocational assessment and referral, nutritional counseling, spirituality groups, and family therapy. Relapse prevention, and twelve step groups enable clients to learn about, enter into, and sustain a recovery program.

As with all Narco Freedom programs the additional support of New Beginnings Community Counseling Center, Neighborhood and Family Community Health Center, Hope Case Management (for people living with HIV/AIDS), and the comprehensive support services of Narco Freedom are easily accessible to any Independence client.

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".
