The Bronx Addiction Treatment Center is an OASAS certified 38 bed facility for adult men and woman.

The ATC has been providing inpatient alcohol and substance services to the Bronx Community for 23 years.

The services provided are designed to address the basic health care needs of each patient while addressing specific physical, psychological and social symptoms associated with psychoactive substance abuse.

ServicesTreatment Philosophy

• Treatment is based on a holistic model that includes working with the individual as well as any other significant people in his/her life who are supportive of, and willing to participate in the recovery process.
• Treatment services stress abstinence from alcohol and all mood altering drugs.
• We empower clients to utilize self help and other recovery resources.
• Treatment is geared toward providing individual and group counseling as well as physical, psychological and social rehabilitation.
• Additionally, spiritual, nutritional and recreational rehabilitation services are offered.

Their goal is to provide each patient with the necessary tools to build a firm foundation for a healthy, meaningful life without the destructive use of alcohol and other drugs.

In addition to addressing common issues and problems associated with addiction, an individualized treatment plan is developed for each patient.

These plans address the patient's strengths, needs, abilities and preferences.

Mental Health Specialized Services

• Bronx ATC offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of most major mental health impairments.
• Their services include: individualized psychotherapy on a time limited basis, as well as extensive psycho-education on a case by case basis.
• Their interdisciplinary team includes: psychiatrists, social workers and other qualified health professionals.
• Intimate Partner Violence/Domestic Violence WorkshopsThe Bronx ATC is committed to preventing violence through education and self awareness.
• Out Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Workshops target the perpetrator, while their Domestic Violence (DV) Workshops target the victims.

At the end of the 8 core session, clients will:

• gain some insight into IPV and other types of violence;
• learn about the effects of DV on family/children;
• explore the correlation between drug/alcohol abuse and increased risk for violence.

All efforts are made to avoid generalizations that assume that the abusive partner is always male.

DV Assessment is part of their Social Assessment.

Safety planning is incorporated in their Treatment Planning as needed.

Identified Victims/Perpetrators are linked with specialized services at discharge.

All their discussions occur in a safe therapeutic environment that allows for healing to begin.

Acupuncture/Tai ChiIn keeping with The Bronx Addiction Treatment Center's holistic approach to treatment, the spiritual and meditative art of acupuncture and tai chi are available to all interested patients.

Auricular Detoxification Acupuncture (ADA), a widely practiced and highly effective adjunct to group and individual therapy is available to patients 3 days weekly.

Tai Chi is used along with Motivational Enhancement Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to address the withdrawal cravings and the reward urges often associated with early recovery from Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) use.

Criminal Justice Workshop

• This is a workshop of self-improvement and change for the person who has a past of criminal conduct together with alcohol and other drug use problems.
• There are many programs that work at helping the person who has a criminal conduct history, or a person who is called an "offender".
• There are many programs that work at helping people with their AOD (alcohol and other drug) problems.
• But the Bronx ATC Criminal Justice Workshop is different.
• It is a workshop that will work at helping people with both AOD and criminal conduct problems.
