Harlem East Life Plan

About Harlem East Life Plan

Known for its vibrant and diverse culture, New York City, New York is home to Harlem East Life Plan. This organization provides substance abuse, mental health and primary care for adults. You can access ambulatory medical detox as well as medication assisted treatment. They accept most private health plans, Medicaid and Medicare.

Discreet Detoxification Services

Their ambulatory detox services provide outpatient support to reduce the chances of medical complications during withdrawal. You can access support and comfort while developing relapse prevention skills. The facility connects you with ongoing supportive services to continue your journey.

In addition to this service, I also think it’s great that they provide medication assisted treatment. This approach can help you manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings while honing in on recovery. They prescribe FDA approved medications and offer counseling to help you sustain recovery.

Culturally Sensitive Care

Their emphasis on quality, culturally sensitive services really stood out to me. They understand that receiving care in an environment that acknowledges and respects your culture is essential.

They provide services in English and Spanish, including group, individual, couples and family therapy. You’ll benefit from a supportive environment where your needs are heard and understood.

An Integrated Care Model

Another great feature that caught my eye was their integrated care model. You can receive a whole person approach, incorporating addiction, mental health, and physical healthcare needs. They emphasize a harm reduction approach with trauma informed and person centered interventions.

You can also participate in specialized services and follow up care at local hospitals and supportive service providers. Treatment for HIV, Hepatitis C and more is available.

Levels of Care

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.
Aftercare

Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.

Detox Service Setting

Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
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.
Young Adult (18 - 25)

Young adult programs are designed for individuals who are transitioning into adulthood. Topics of discussion typically include identity, independence and peer relationships. Providers may also offer life skills training and career support.
