Opioid Treatment Program

About VIP's Opioid Treatment Program​

VIP’s Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) provides access to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) for individuals diagnosed with an opioid use disorder utilizing both methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone). Using medications to treat opioid use disorder helps people manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce illicit opioid use, and stay in treatment. Methadone and buprenorphine reduce the risk of death from opioid overdose.

MOUD services are supported by individual and family counseling, group services, peer services, medical services, case management and community support services.

The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is preparing to issue $75 million dollars in Summer EBT benefits to over 600,000 New York City families with school-aged children who spent the benefits they received last year. New York State has received reports of benefits being stolen in other states and doesn’t want that to happen to New York City residents. Please encourage EBT cardholders to protect their benefits by calling the number on the back of their card and changing their PIN today, June 15th, or as soon as possible.
