Real change. Real support. Real results.
Vertex LLC is a New York City behavioral-health organization with two licensed outpatient programs under one roof: substance use disorder treatment (OASAS Part 822) in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, and Vertex Mental Health (OMH Article 31), now serving the Bronx with new locations coming to Mount Vernon, Queens and Brooklyn. One team coordinates both — so a person who needs help with substance use and mental health is never sent somewhere else.
Compassionate care in a nonjudgmental environment.
Vertex's mission is to create an environment that is nonjudgmental and supportive, based on humanity's attributes. We offer services to women, men, LGBTQ+ and non-binary individuals, families and friends to begin the recovery and healing process, grounded in compassion, respect and trust.
As a licensed OASAS Part 822 outpatient program, we provide evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders alongside mental health services through our Office of Mental Health program. Our clinical team delivers individualized care plans that address the whole person — health, relationships, work, housing, and legal obligations included.
Adults, families, and the people who refer them.
Co-occurring conditions are the norm, not the exception. Because both programs share one clinical team and one coordinated record, assessment, treatment planning and prescribing are aligned from the first visit.
One team. One call.
Substance use and mental health conditions overlap constantly — and the usual answer is a second intake somewhere else. At Vertex, both programs share one front door, one intake, one clinical team and one coordinated record.
Counselors, therapists and prescribers see the same plan, communicate directly, and adjust together. For the client that means fewer appointments to juggle, no re-telling their story, and a treatment plan that addresses the whole picture.
For referral partners it means one phone number, one point of contact and one set of reports.
Substance Use Disorder Treatment
An OASAS Part 822 outpatient program built around recovery, stability and lasting change — with the structure of a clinical program and the flexibility of outpatient care, so people keep working, parenting and living while they recover.
Individual & Group Counseling
One-to-one sessions with a counselor plus structured groups that build skills, accountability and community.
Family Counseling
Sessions that bring family members into the recovery process and repair communication and trust.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medical evaluation and medication support for alcohol and opioid use disorders, integrated with counseling.
Relapse Prevention
Practical planning for triggers, cravings and high-risk situations, revisited as recovery progresses.
Outpatient Program
A scheduled program of individual and group sessions with progress reviews, continuing-care planning and discharge support.
Telehealth Sessions
Secure video sessions when coming in isn't possible, so treatment continues through work, illness or travel.
Toxicology Monitoring
Routine drug and alcohol screening through a partner laboratory, documented for the client and — with consent — for referral partners.
Assessments & Documentation
Clinical assessments, treatment plans, attendance verification and progress letters for courts, employers and agencies, with client consent.
Specialized tracks.
Criminal Justice Track
Structured treatment for people referred by courts, probation, parole or attorneys, with compliance reporting and direct communication with the referring agency.
DWI / DUI Assessments
Evaluations and treatment recommendations following an impaired-driving charge, with the documentation needed for the court and licensing process.
Domestic Violence Program
A dedicated program addressing the behaviors, beliefs and substance use that drive violence in relationships.
Anger Management
Skills-based sessions for recognizing triggers, de-escalating, and responding to conflict without harm.
Parenting Group
Support for parents rebuilding stability and trust at home while in recovery.
Medical & Psychiatric Support
Doctor visits, prescribing and coordination with Vertex Mental Health for co-occurring conditions.

Evidence-based therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders and life transitions.

From recovery to a career in human services.

Insurance, cost and what to bring.
Vertex works with Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans as well as commercial insurance, and offers self-pay options. Our billing team verifies coverage during Day 1 of intake so there are no surprises. Call to confirm your plan.
