The New Focus Center, Greenburgh Addiction Treatment Services, and Archway outpatient clinics provide a full array of treatment services for adults and adolescents with Substance Use Disorders which include individual, group, and family treatment services from 8:30 am to 8 pm. Psychiatric services are also provided for those who have psychiatric problems in addition to Substance Use Disorders. All clinics offer Medication Assisted Treatment (Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, and Vivitrol), in addition to individual and group therapy, which has proven to greatly enhance successful treatment.

(Heroin Enforcement and Assistance Response Team)
The Heart Initiative is the Yonkers Police Departments’ new approach to combating the growing epidemic of heroin addiction. It consists of a three-prong approach: Prevention, Assistance, and Enforcement. The primary focus of this initiative is on the treatment of the disease of heroin/ opioid addiction as opposed to the strict enforcement for heroin/ opioid use.
