NYTC, Inc. Probation Ambulatory Programs

The Probation Ambulatory Programs, operated under the auspices of the New York City Department of Probation, serve probationers aged 18 years and older who are involved in substance abuse, 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 Loius Conception Probation Ambulatory Program in downtown Brooklyn has been joined by the Herman Williams Probation Ambulatory Program on Jamaica Avenue in Queens. Both programs are located within the offices of the New York City Department of Probation.

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