NYTC, Inc. Probation Ambulatory Programs

The Probation Ambulatory Programs, operating under the auspices of the New York City Department of Probation, serve probationers aged 18 years and older who are substance abusers, as well as providing support services to adolescent probationers.

Unlike other NYTC programs, the Probation Ambulatory Programs are not residential, and clients attend group and individual sessions from three times to once a week, depending on their progress. Like other NYTC programs, however, treatment focuses on behavior, attitudes and lifestyle, thus addressing the underlying issues which have led to substance abuse and which prevent a person from living a successful life. The group sessions emphasize the importance of one’s peers in working through these issues. On average, a client will attend for twelve months.

The clinical staff, which includes a supervising psychiatrist, work closely with Probation staff at all phases of the program, as well as with the court system. Selected Probation Officers are assigned to work exclusively with the program’s clients.

Locations: The Louis Conception Probation Ambulatory Program operates in downtown Brooklyn, while the Herman Williams Probation Ambulatory Program operates on Jamaica Avenue in Queens. The Lonni Cacchione Probation Ambulatory Program in Manhattan opened in 2009. All three programs operate on-site in the offices of the New York City Department of Probation.

Licensing: All programs are licensed by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services.
