New York Therapeutic Communities, Inc. (NYTC) is a not-for-profit organization with over three decades experience providing substance abuse treatment primarily to adults in the criminal justice system. We operate licensed community-based residential and outpatient programs utilizing a therapeutic community (TC) model. The Serendipity community-based residential programs enable those involved in the criminal justice system to prepare themselves to re-enter society. Serendipity also offers a cost-effective alternative-to-incarceration (ATI) for those persons for whom rehabilitation is the priority. The NYTC, Inc. Outpatient Programs offer non-residential substance abuse treatment to criminal justice clients and other persons in Brooklyn and Queens, as well as aftercare support to those who have completed the Serendipity programs.
