Residential services for adults are designed for those who require intensive, 24-hour supervised treatment. Facilities are located in Dutchess and Sullivan Counties of New York State.

Intake and assessment for residential treatment in New York takes place at our office at 500 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. The Residential program occurs in three stages. In Entry, the client attends orientation seminars and groups to understand the treatment process he or she is about to undertake. During this time additional assessments are made about the client's clinical, legal, and medical needs. Based on these assessments and the input of our trained counselors, an individualized treatment plan is developed.

By the time they reach the third stage of Re-entry, clients are increasing their responsibilities to themselves and to their families. As with all Daytop programs, family involvement is encouraged throughout treatment. In Re-entry, clients continue their participation in clinical activities and begin to integrate the skills they learned into their lives: they see their families more, start seeking employment, and find housing. The purpose of Re-entry is to allow clients the time to experience stressful new situations, while under the guidance and support of our Daytop counselors. They are encouraged to keep practicing their new, healthy behaviors while adjusting, and develop a support network that will serve them after they leave the program.

Some clients who are primarily in the Outpatient program may participate in a short, intensive residential phase. This phase may last from 30 to 60 days and is based in our Manor House facility in Dutchess County, NY. The short term residential program is followed by a return to an outpatient component.

Clients who are able to sustain themselves in an ambulatory setting participate in our adult outpatient program. This is designed to meet the needs of working people and those who cannot leave their home responsibilities. Schedules and specialized services are based upon each client's particular situation and needs.

This outpatient modality offers a full range of therapeutic activities including individual and group counseling, where family and significant others are encouraged to become involved. Several of our outreach centers have programs under an OCJS (Office of Criminal Justice Services) contract, to which clients are referred by parole and probation officers.

In the later stages of treatment, clients participate in relapse prevention groups to prepare for program completion and graduation. As with all other Daytop programs, Alumni meetings, counselors and a support network for graduates and their families are always available.

Adult intake and assessment for outpatient programs is done at the local outreaches, including OCJS clients. The intake process for residential programs may begin at our office at 500 Eighth Avenue. Daytop adult clients for either outpatient or residential programs may be self-referred, or referred by employers, unions, detoxification centers, the courts, or foster care agencies.
