About Dynamite Youth Center
Dynamite Youth Center is a nonprofit addiction treatment provider in Brooklyn, New York, specializing in care for adolescents and young adults. The facility offers outpatient counseling and a 16 bed community residence, creating a supportive environment where young people work on recovery alongside education and life skills.
Clients and families describe the experience as structured, genuine and life changing, with strong peer relationships and family reconnection at the center of healing.
Individual, Group and Family Sessions for Substance Use Treatment
The Brooklyn site provides outpatient substance use treatment that includes group, individual and family counseling in a drug free model. Young people can also live in the on site community residence while participating in treatment and many clients transition here after completing the upstate Fallsburg residential program as part of a long term recovery continuum.
Who Can Get Help At Dynamite Youth Center?
The center serves adolescents and young adults, typically ages 15 years to 23 years, who are working toward recovery from substance use. Dynamite Youth Center also supports young people involved in the court system through advocacy services and alternatives to incarceration.
What Makes This Program Different?
Dynamite Youth Center integrates on site education through a partnership with NYC schools, so clients can earn a high school diploma or GED during treatment. Vocational counseling, job readiness training and structured responsibility building activities prepare young people for independent life after treatment.
The program accepts Medicaid, state insurance and some private insurance plans and also welcomes self pay clients. Sliding fee scales and payment assistance may be available for those who qualify.
