We are currently seeking an Addiction Psychiatrist (MD) for our soon-to-open Support and Connection Center – a first of its kind in the Bronx. The Support and Connection Center is a joint initiative supported by DOHMH, ThriveNYC, and NYPD that gives first responders an alternative to avoidable emergency room visits or criminal justice interventions. The center will provide 24/7/365 client-centered, short stay, engagement and stabilization/treatment alternative for guests who are experiencing non-emergency psychiatric symptoms, drug use and/or non-emergency medical issues. The Center will hold a maximum of 25 guests at any given point, with a 19 bed capacity. Length of stay varies from a few hours to as much as 5 days. All referrals will be made by NYPD drop-off to the Center. Once a guest agrees to the Center referral, the NYPD officers will escort the guest to the Center for check-in. Guest participation in Center services is voluntary and will be in lieu of arrest/prosecution, if there was an underlying arrest diversion related to the police encounter/contact. The Samaritan Daytop Village’s Support Center will provide true integration of Mental Health, Substance Use, and Medical Care to guests in need of support.
