Substance Use Recovery in the Bronx
Recovery support covers outpatient and residential treatment, medication for opioid use disorder such as buprenorphine and methadone, harm reduction services and peer-led groups. The risk of overdose is much higher in the first weeks after release, because tolerance drops while you're inside.
Tip: carry naloxone (Narcan). It's sold without a prescription, and many programs here give it out free along with training on how to use it.
If a Bronx program has a waitlist, the citywide services below can often see you sooner, by phone or at an office in another borough.
