Substance Use Treatment for Children, Adolescents, & Adults
Wellness centers are open six days a week for in-person and remote services. Please see below for site-specific information (additional office hours can be scheduled as needed). Our main wellness center number is 718-358-8288. You can call this number for information about any of our wellness centers. We stand ready to help!
Our three newly renovated wellness centers, Cohen Family Wellness Center, Jamaica Family Wellness Center, and Macari Family Wellness Center, offer services for the whole family so that you and your loved ones can get the help you need in one convenient place, right in your neighborhood, in the language you speak, with staff who understand the challenges you face.
We treat mental health, physical health, and substance use issues for all ages under one roof. We also offer other programs, such as early childhood education and guidance on entitlements and benefits. Our goal is to improve the overall quality of care by treating the person—and family—as a whole. Our beautiful new spaces feature state-of-the-art equipment and a modern, welcoming look and feel. Our clients deserve the best experience when they come to us for care, and we are committed to providing it.
You can reach any of our wellness centers by calling 718-358-8288. Our fax number is 718-358-5265. We have staff who collectively speak nearly 20 languages and are ready to assist you in the language you speak. When you call our main clinic number, you can listen to our options in English, Bengali, Chinese, or Spanish for assistance in reaching the services you need; you may leave a message in any language, and we will assist you in that language.
The Child Center of NY also offers outpatient substance abuse treatment services through the Asian Outreach Program (AOP) at Macari Family Wellness Center in Flushing and at Cohen Family Wellness Center. AOP was developed in response to the unique needs of the Asian community. While we are open to people of all backgrounds, we are unique in that we have trained, professional staff who speak a variety of Asian languages as well as Spanish and English. Our highly trained bilingual and bicultural therapists are able to break through the language and cultural barriers that often prevent Asian immigrants and first-generation Americans of Asian descent from accessing needed substance abuse services.
AOP provides addiction treatment to children, adolescents, and adults, as well as counseling for significant others impacted by their loved ones’ chemical addictions. We also offer treatment for co-occurring mental health issues, family and school problems, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and both individual and group treatment, including DWI groups. We accept a variety of insurances and have a sliding scale fee.
