KEEP

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).
