OUR RESULTS

The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services evaluates outpatient chemical dependency treatment programs every year. In 2010, CSEDNY’s five programs helped in the following ways:

  • Almost half the New Yorkers who start a CSEDNY program complete it or are referred to a more appropriate program.
  • Four out of five men and women who completed treatment discontinue their use of drugs and/or alcohol.
  • Almost half of CSEDNY’s clients who completed treatment maintain full-time employment or improved their employment status.
  • Fewer program participants are rearrested, with a 70% reduction in arrests after six months of treatment.
