In our Drop-In Centers, participants have access to the following free services. From the Drop-In Centers, we engage participants in additional programs and services we offer in-house and connect them to detox and treatment through outside partner providers.
Hot meals and beverages are available throughout the day. While we maintain a meal schedule, we honor the deep roots of community care by feeding people when they are hungry.
Access to bathrooms, showers, laundry, and a fresh set of clothing is critical to health, wellness, and dignity. Loving on our participants includes staff washing and folding participants’ clothing while they shower and proving new clothing when needed.
As a New York State Department of Health-authorized Syringe Service Program, we provide safer drug use supplies, education, and counseling to reduce the potential harms associated with drug use and needle-sharing. We provide supplies to safely smoke, sniff, inject, and booty bump. We also provide naloxone kits and overdose intervention education.
In a digital age, an increasing amount of civic participation requires use of a computer, phone, printer, or fax. These amenities are available to participants to adhere to appointment needs, communicate with loved ones, access information, or play games.
Staff within the organization often come from our participant population and can offer participants support, fellowship, and practical help. Participants often find comfort in connecting with staff members who have used OnPoint’s programs and services to aid in their stabilization.
At OnPoint NYC, connection is care. Across our East Harlem and Washington Heights Wellness Hubs, we host a wide range of groups designed to promote healing, creativity, learning, and community.
Learn how we use professional development to push back against stigma by investing in people’s growth and leadership.
In the second year of operating our OPCs, we were able to finesse our service delivery, deepen relationships with our participants, and connect them to essential and wrap-around care in our buildings.
