Action for a Better Community - New Directions CD Outpatient Clinic

Outpatient Treatment With Medical and Counseling Services

New Directions delivers outpatient care for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. The clinic serves children, adolescents, and adults, offering evaluations, individual, group, and family counseling, relapse prevention planning, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT). On-site health services include medical screenings and testing for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, TB, and other conditions. Telehealth appointments add flexibility for those balancing daily responsibilities.

Family-Focused and Trauma-Informed Care

Believing that recovery involves the whole family, New Directions integrates trauma-informed counseling with relapse prevention and family sessions. The program is designed to support clients coping with trauma, intimate partner violence, HIV/AIDS, and justice system involvement, creating a safe and inclusive environment that promotes long-term stability.

Flexible and Accessible Program Options

The clinic reduces barriers to care with evening and weekend hours, transportation assistance, and Spanish-language services. Specialized offerings include gender-specific groups, DWI evaluations and treatment, and a smoke- and vape-free environment. A sliding-fee scale and other payment assistance options help ensure affordability.

Community-Based Recovery Supports

Beyond clinical services, New Directions connects clients to resources that strengthen recovery in daily life. Recovery coaching, peer support, housing services, vocational training, and employment counseling provide a foundation for independence. The program also addresses gambling and other behavioral addictions, offers overdose education and naloxone distribution, and includes structured aftercare planning to support lasting recovery.
