CTI Harlem — Family Intervention Services in New York, NY

Records on file indicate this program accepts Medicaid. Specific eligibility rules, covered services, and authorization steps differ by state and plan tier. The admissions team can run a benefits check and walk through any cost-share before you schedule.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is offered with Buprenorphine used in Treatment, Naltrexone used in Treatment. These FDA-approved medications ease withdrawal and reduce craving while clients begin therapy. The treating physician sets dosing and the long-term plan based on an individual clinical assessment.

Intensive outpatient (IOP) typically runs 9 to 12 hours per week, with morning or evening tracks built around work and school schedules. Programming combines group therapy, individual sessions, and skills practice. Admissions can confirm the cohort schedule and which track has openings.

The young-adult track focuses on the challenges specific to this stage of life — peer dynamics, identity formation, and the move into independent living. Programming usually pairs traditional addiction therapy with career counseling and practical life-skills work.

A dedicated veterans track addresses combat-related trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and the specific stressors that follow service members into civilian life. Staff who understand military culture deliver the care, and admissions can help coordinate with VA benefits when applicable — call to confirm eligibility specifics.

LGBTQ+-affirming care is part of how this program operates. Clinical work attends to the realities of minority stress, family rejection, and discrimination that frequently sit alongside substance use. Staff training emphasizes culturally responsive, respectful care across every level of the program.

Gender-responsive programming gives women space to work on trauma, relationships, and parenting in a setting tailored to their needs. Some sites coordinate childcare or family housing alongside treatment. If pregnancy or postpartum care is part of the picture, ask admissions about pregnancy-safe protocols.

Aftercare planning starts well before discharge. Typical paths include step-down to outpatient services, referrals to sober-living homes, alumni group meetings, and warm hand-offs to community recovery resources. Many programs maintain alumni networks so peer support and accountability continue once formal treatment is complete.

Yes — intervention support is part of what this site offers. A trained interventionist or educational consultant can guide a family through a structured conversation designed to help a loved one in active addiction accept treatment. Recognized models such as the Johnson Model, ARISE, and Love First inform the approach. Pre-meeting coaching, the day-of conversation, and a same-day admission pathway are coordinated together so momentum isn’t lost.

Yes — both family counseling and marital or couples counseling are offered. Sessions are sequenced through the program and continue into aftercare. Working with relatives helps rebuild trust, name healthy boundaries, and prepare the home environment so it can hold up the recovery work after discharge.

Yes, this program addresses behavioral or process addictions in addition to substance use disorders. The clinical model targets the shared mechanisms — craving, reward dysregulation, avoidance — and then tailors the relapse-prevention work to the specific behavior the client is working to change.

Transportation assistance is part of the program — appointments, group sessions, and admissions logistics can be supported. Eligibility and service radius depend on the track: outpatient ride support, residential intake pickups, and aftercare appointment transport are typically handled through separate pathways. Admissions can confirm what fits your situation when you call.

Total cost depends on program length, level of care, and the specific services involved. Most sites can set up payment plans or point to outside financing partners. A confidential call to admissions gets you a tailored cost estimate for your situation rather than a guess based on a generic price sheet.
