All of our programs and services are free of charge and are held at our centrally located offices in Manhattan.
ARRIVE
A two-month program, offered five times each year, to care for individuals and families affected by HIV, other chronic illnesses, and drug abuse. In a uniquely supportive, inspiring and educational environment, ARRIVE offers life-skills building, training, and support services that assist with recovery and build stability for those combating illness, addiction, poverty, and homelessness.
peer training initiative
A program for graduates of ARRIVE who want to further their marketable skills in counseling, training, and outreach.
transitional counseling unit
Staffed by our graduates, this program prepares inmates for release by planning their network of community-based treatments. Our staff secures stable housing and medical services prior to our clients' release to provide a more successful transition from prison to community life.
ex-offenders conference
Developed and conducted five times a year by ex-offenders, this one-day conference is for individuals with a history of arrest or incarceration. Participants learn how to successfully transition back into society, create a social network, obtain needed identification, and become job-ready.
drug treatment services
A unique program designated for special populations with persistently chronic illness such as mental illness, HIV, Hepatitis C, diabetes, asthma, and hypertension. This program provides a stabilizing, holistic approach that enables our clients to deal with illness and stay in treatment.
supportive case management/recovery readiness
Experienced peer case managers help individuals achieve stability and independence by assisting with benefits such as housing, primary care, and drug treatment needs. HIV counseling, an education relapse prevention group, and individual counseling help people with multiple challenges to build safer, healthier, and more independent lives.
health and sexuality risk reduction
One of the first of its kind, this eight-week course fosters self-discovery and socialization skills. Participants and their counselors create individual plans to reduce the risk of chronic illness.
outreach services
Strategically planned to target areas in New York City where no services exist. The purpose of this program is to engage homeless I.V. drug users and ex-offenders with services and programs that can save and improve their lives.
feeding our family
Alleviates the hunger of our clients by providing them with prepackaged breakfasts, afternoon snacks and portable packaged meals, both while they are at Exponents and to take home for dinnertime. These free meals enable our clients, who are living in shelters, to begin to address their substance abuse and destabilized lifestyles.
Our inclusive environment welcomes people of every race, gender, age, and sexual orientation. The diversity of our participants also includes people at varying stages of recovery.
