Serendipity I The John David Ctr RR

New York Therapeutic Communities, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation that provides substance abuse treatment and complementary human services to persons in need. The organization operates multiple programs across Brooklyn and Queens, including two residential Serendipity programs (one for men, one for women) and outpatient programs. The Serendipity residential programs provide community-based substance abuse treatment as a means of reintegration into society and serve as an alternative to incarceration. Outpatient programs serve persons age 18 or over with referrals from local community and criminal justice agencies, helping graduates reintegrate into the community. The organization's mission is to help program participants effect changes in attitude and behavior that will enable them to make choices associated with a healthy, positive lifestyle free of crime and drugs.
