Rebuild Balance With Support
FAIR uses a social and psychodynamic approach supported by individualized, evidence-informed therapies. Clients participate in individual counseling, group therapy, family and couples therapy, relapse-prevention groups, and self-help support. Care focuses on understanding substance use patterns, reducing relapse risk, and strengthening emotional insight, coping skills, and communication to support long-term recovery and mental wellness.
Trust Care With Deep Roots
The program is rooted in a long-standing commitment to community mental health that dates back to the clinic’s founding in 1962. FAIR builds on decades of experience serving diverse New York City neighborhoods with culturally responsive, family-centered care. Bilingual clinicians support English- and Spanish-speaking clients while addressing the needs of individuals, children, and loved ones affected by addiction. This legacy of service reinforces trust, continuity of care, and lasting recovery within the communities FAIR serves.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone

Buprenorphine
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not provide MAT.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
