The Programs of NYTC, Inc.

New York Therapeutic Communities, Inc. provides a continuum of care that enables criminal justice clients to be re-integrated back into society as responsible and tax-paying adults. This continuum includes the two Stay'n Out in-prison programs and the community-based residential Serendipity programs in the borough of Brooklyn. Our NYTC, Inc. Probation Ambulatory Programs offer non-residential treatment to clients of the New York City Department of Probation, as well as support services to adolescent probationers.

Thus a man or a woman can receive effective substance abuse treatment while in prison; upon her or his release move into a residential program to facilitate his transition back into society; and finally benefit from continued services while living and working once more in the community.

Other persons who have been diverted from incarceration by being placed on probation, by special treatment courts, or by other alternative-to-incarceration programs like Treatment Accountability for Safe Communities (TASC), are mandated to participate in Serendipity I (for men) or Serendipity II (for women), or in one the NYTC, Inc. Probation Ambulatory Programs.
