Substance User Health
Rooted in Community
Project Renewal was founded in 1967 on the revolutionary principle that addiction was a health issue, and not a crime. Our first program was a detoxification program on the Bowery, which offered medical treatment and a bed, instead of a jail cell.
Now, our Third Street location is home to a variety of OASAS licensed programs that support people who use drugs through a trauma-informed, harm-reduction, person-centered approach to services, including access to Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) and additional evidence-based practices.
The Recovery Center
A keystone program at Project Renewal, The Recovery Center helps individuals recovering from alcohol and drug use develop their ability to lead healthy and self-sufficient lives.

"One of the hardest things about homelessness is the sense of isolation and the disruption of meaningful relationships. I try my best to use OT to build a community of support for residents."
