About Family and Childrens Association – Hicksville
You’ll find Family & Children’s Association in Hicksville, New York, less than 25 miles outside of Long Island. This not for profit, nonsectarian organization provides compassionate care for individuals and families experiencing significant challenges in the Long Island area. You can access their outpatient addiction program with specialized tracks for youth and young adults.
They ensure you can get the help you need, regardless of your ability to pay. They’ll never deny services if you can’t afford treatment. Instead, you can access a sliding scale fee based on your income. They also accept major insurance providers, Medicaid, and Medicare.
One great feature that caught my eye was their culturally competent approach. They provide services in Spanish as well as English. You can access an inclusive space to express your needs and feel heard and understood. You’ll benefit from a supportive space with personalized care for your unique situation.
I also think it’s great that they offer educational and vocational services. You can improve essential aspects to set yourself up for success in recovery. That way, you’ll leave treatment with stability and a solid recovery foundation.
Another great feature is their harm reduction approaches. They provide medication assisted treatment to help you manage the physical symptoms of quitting substances while honing in on recovery.
You and your loved ones can also participate in opioid overdose training. You’ll benefit from learning how to administer Narcan, a life saving opioid overdose reversal medication. They also offer free kits once you complete training.
An honorable mention is their Nursery Co-op, a short drive away in Hempstead. This program offers short term childcare for children aged two to five as well as case management for parents. You can access resources and services for employment, substance abuse, training, and more.
