About Astor Services for Children and Families – Satellite MS118 – West Bronx
If you’re in the Bronx and need help with substance use, Astor Services for Children and Families on Tilden Street provides services for addiction recovery. Located in a central part of the Bronx, the facility is easy to access whether you’re taking public transportation or driving. It’s open five days a week making it easier to fit into busy schedules.
Astor provides behavioral health assessments, substance use screenings and treatment planning. They also offer discharge planning and crisis management. For those needing additional assistance the facility also offers psychiatric care apart from regular therapy.
Astor doesn’t just offer basic therapy sessions. When it comes to addressing substance use they provide a mix of individual therapy and family counseling. This is particularly helpful because substance use doesn’t just affect the individual—it can ripple out and impact the whole family. They offer services like home, school, or community-based sessions; family therapy; and individual therapy.
If someone is dealing with mental health issues like anxiety or depression along with substance use then medication can be an important part of the treatment. They keep a close watch on how the medication assisted treatment (MAT) works, checking in often to ensure it’s helping and making adjustments if needed.
Case management here is about much more than just offering advice. Families get the guidance they need from case managers who help them connect with the right services and make sure there’s clarity about what to do moving forward in recovery.
