Addiction Treatment Center Opens In Midtown Manhattan

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A new outpatient addition treatment center in Midtown Manhattan is tailoring its services to help people that are balancing recovery with full-time jobs.

The Coalition of Medication-Assisted Treatment Providers and Advocates of New York State launched an Elevate360 addiction center this month on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 41st Street. The center offers group and individual psychotherapy solutions to help patients in revocery.

In order to accommodate people with full-time jobs, the center is open before and after work hours and during lunchtime.

"As we continue to battle the opioid epidemic, both as a nation and a state, providing patients with 24/7 access to help is an essential next step in addiction treatment and overdose prevention," Allegra Schorr, president of COMPA, said in a statement. "We congratulate Elevate360 in its efforts to offer the most comprehensive, immediately accessible care possible."

The new center will help people suffering from alcohol and substance use disorders, including the abuse of pain medication. Elevate360's staff specialize in evidence-based therapies such as motivational interviewing and the community reinforcement approach to help patients maintain recovery.

The new center will also collaborate with other providers to provide patients services such as psychiatry and medication assisted treatment such as buprenorphine and injectable naltrexone, according to a press release.

Elevate360 patients will also have access to a mobile app called "Connections," which allows patients to maintain contact with their care providers 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

"We have made a commitment to our patients that we will seek out and bring them the most effective techniques and tools to help them achieve their goals," Dr. Sarah Church, founder and executive director of Elevate360, said in a statement. "In keeping with that promise, we hired doctoral level psychologists trained in scientifically proven therapies and we chose technology backed by significant research to show that it is highly effective."
