C.O.D.A.

C.O.D.A. is a New York State OASAS licensed, medically supervised, chemical dependence outpatient non-intensive treatment program. C.O.D.A. provides a full range of services necessary for complete drug recovery and rehabilitation. Some of the services available are:

  • Individual, Group, Family and Couples counseling
  • Intensive drug education: biological, psychoactive and psychological effects of drugs
  • Learning behavioral alternatives to chemical abuse and dependence
  • DWI group treatment program
  • Medical screening and assessment; referrals to physicians if necessary

  • Referrals to detoxification programs, and or intensive and inpatient drug treatment programs when indicated
  • Review of employment skills
  • Referrals to vocational-educational programs
  • Random and observed urine toxicology analysis

Founded in 1969 in response to a lack of services the community offered to Heroin users, and originally known as "Inwood House," C.O.D.A. has continued to grow and expand its services, responding to changing community needs and improved treatment techniques.

Staffed to treat English and Hispanic clients, C.O.D.A.’s mission is and always has been to provide the community with well-trained professional staff, abreast of the latest research findings, to deliver cutting-edge drug and alcohol treatment modalities to meet the needs of those seeking assistance for themselves, a loved one, a family member, a friend.

Fees:  C.O.D.A. accepts Medicaid. All non-medicaid fees are determined by a sliding scale based on the individual's ability to pay.
