About VIP Community Services
VIP Community Services has an outpatient program for addiction recovery for adults in the Bronx, New York. Known as the birthplace of hip-hop, rap music and home to the New York Yankees, the Bronx offers an urban setting for your recovery. They also help with mental health challenges you may be experiencing. It’s pretty accessible by rail or by car.
If you’re recovering from an opioid addiction, they can help you with medications. Addiction medicines help you detox safely as they take away withdrawal symptoms. Remaining on them for longer term recovery is helpful as they take away cravings. They’ll also help out if you want to quit smoking and find steady work.
What stood out to me about them is that they offer all their services in Spanish as well. By offering bilingual programs they can effectively serve a larger portion of the community they work with. Not only do they speak both languages, but they are culturally sensitive and try to understand where each individual is at.
Sometimes the context of your life needs to change to support your new sober lifestyle. They’ll work with you to find work and a home. With the major things in place, you’ll find your stress levels may be lower, which takes away the urge to escape using drugs or alcohol. They’ll focus on improving the quality of your life. This might include physical health, being able to provide for your family, or restoring relationships.
Many people who’ve been treated there speak about the place as clean and organized. They say they’ve had good experiences and the staff are kind and helpful. They say they felt supported.
