Organizations We Support
A crucial component of Avenues’ mission is our commitment to working in tandem with a variety of meaningful substance abuse recovery communities and organizations in New York City, furthering our collective goals of offering safe, supportive, comfortable, support to those who are struggling in their substance use disorder. Whether it’s sending our clients to enriching sober community events and programs for young adults or employing advanced technology and tools to further the safety of our clients, we prioritize providing a holistic approach with comprehensive support services for their wellbeing.
