About Our Program
The Project Rising Program, offered through the Montefiore Einstein Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, specializes in substance use disorder treatments for adolescents and young adults aged 14–24. This Program is part of a broad network of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences’ Substance Abuse Treatment Programs (SATPs) in the Bronx community, where all patients are given access to the highest standard of compassionate, evidence-based outpatient care from a dedicated team of addiction treatment professionals.
Our SATPs build on a harm-reduction framework designed to integrate addiction medications, such as methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone®), with patient-centered, state-of-the-art, supported care. Our dedicated team of addiction treatment professionals includes medical providers, mental health clinicians, peer advocates and support staff who assist our patients in developing the skills they need to reach their goals.
Over the past 40 years, the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences’ Division of Services for Addiction has helped thousands of individuals enter recovery and rejoin their families and communities. Through recovery, individuals are empowered to find meaning in their lives and integrate into their communities.
