About Hands on Health Associates LLC

Hands On Health Associates is a behavioral health provider in Brooklyn, New York, certified by both the state Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) and the Office of Mental Health (OMH). They treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions side by side, with a client-centered approach built on the belief that people can change. Beyond clinical care, their goals include helping clients improve daily functioning, build job skills, find stable housing, and reduce their involvement with the criminal justice system.

Their chemical dependency program starts with a full assessment. Clients then receive a personalized plan delivered through individual counseling with Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselors (CASACs), group therapy, and family counseling, with medication-assisted treatment from staff psychiatrists when appropriate. They also run a DWI/DUI program, coordinate continuing care, and help clients complete the 2010E supportive housing application. On the mental health side, they offer psychiatric evaluation and medication management, individual, couples, and family therapy, group sessions, and crisis intervention. Staff speak English, Spanish, Russian, Yiddish, Portuguese, and ASL, and a translation service is available for other languages.
