Changes at "A New Recovery Center for Mid-Island/South Shore"

Developed By C.A.G. Richmond Ave

What problem would you like to solve?

Lack of 24/7 Recovery Centers in the middle of Staten Island

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

There are Recovery Centers operating 24/7 on the extreme ends of Staten Island but not in the mid-island

What idea do you have to address the problem?

One year pilot Recovery Center in mid island Staffed by a Certified Recovery Peer Advocate working in partnership with Island Recovery Agencies to refer.

This will operate as a pilot program gauging the ongoing need for safe recovery spaces on Staten Island

Who would that help?

Anyone in recovery needing a safe space to go to avoid substance use

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Mid-Staten Island
