The Bowery Residents’ Committee (BRC) is a non-profit organization that works with New York City residents experiencing homelessness, hunger or crisis. Their origins date back to the 1870s and today continue to be a leader in meeting the needs of community members.
BRC offers all services free to charge thanks to generous donors and community support. Their Lower East Side campus provides a men’s residential program, day center, outpatient substance use treatment and much more.
Inpatient Detox and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in NY
The BRC’s detox program is unique. Unlike many detox facilities that force people to leave once they are sober, residents can stay until they have a safe place to go to continue their recovery.
They are licensed as an outpatient treatment center as well which means that doctors can prescribe buprenorphine as part of MAT.
They partner with NYU-Lutheran to provide medical care. Most of the folks who access their services are individuals experiencing homelessness. I appreciate that staff focus on addressing all of their chronic and mental health needs that have likely been ignored. This could include diabetes, hepatitis, heart disease or mental health diagnoses.
Faith-Based Residential Program in New York City
This organization runs faith-based residential programs to help folks heal, overcome barriers and transition to successful independent living.
They are open to anyone who is struggling due to addiction, domestic violence, abusive relationships, unemployment, homelessness or other challenges.
You’ll work closely with a counselor to help you take steps to find work, secure housing, and become healthy. They also help with health insurance enrollment, benefits and other entitlement assistance, connections to recreation and community centers and more.

Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
Detox Service Setting
-
Inpatient Detox
Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
-
MAT
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
Programs
-
Women
Women's programs offer a safe and supportive space to focus on gender specific issues such as trauma, family roles and mental health conditions. Therapists tailor the sessions to address women's needs and foster empowerment in a healing and nurturing environment.
-
Men
Men's programs address substance use while also considering the social pressures, family roles and mental health concerns that are specific to men. You’ll learn healthy coping mechanisms as you build emotional resilience and develop communication skills.
-
Adult (18+)
Adult programs address the substance use and life challenges specific to adults. Therapists can deliver sessions in individual, group and family settings. Services often include job support and life skills training in a structured environment.
