About The Resource Training Center
The Resource Training Center (TRTC) is a job training and placement program in Brooklyn, New York. They started up in 1994 to help individuals with limited income start careers in the substance use field. As the largest recovery coach training program in New York state, they offer training in overdose prevention, peer advocacy and mental health first aid.
Christopher’s Reason is their affiliated treatment center in Staten Island that offers outpatient substance use services. They accept private payments for both their courses and treatment. Insurance information isn’t specified.
Healing with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
I noticed that clients at Christopher’s Reason can access treatment on demand, including medication assisted treatment, outpatient detox and virtual sessions for flexibility. They also operate a recovery living center with 22 beds for folks who need a step between treatment and home.
If you need more acute care, they can refer you to an inpatient detox via referrals.
New York State Impaired Driving Program
If the court orders you to complete the Impaired Driver Program (IDP), their course meets all DMV requirements. The program here includes seven weekly classroom sessions totaling 16 hours. You’ll complete screening assessments and may be referred for a substance use evaluation and treatment if needed.
Success Stories From Alumni
Clients describe the staff as knowledgeable, supportive and willing to adapt during tough times. One client said, “TRCC has been essential in my recovery. They’ve worked hard to make the process seamless and assist me with continued care.” I was impressed that several former students also shared that they went on to earn counseling credentials and have rewarding careers in the recovery field.
Neighborhood Connections that Nurture Healing
Since it’s close to Brooklyn thoroughfares, getting here from other parts of the borough is simple and convenient. Leif Ericson Park and Sunset Park are both within walking distance and offer calming green spaces to relax and recharge. Nearby neighborhoods like Borough Park and Bensonhurst offer community centers and places of worship that bring people together and foster connection.
