About NYC HHC Jacobi Medical Center
NYC Health + Hospitals – Jacobi provides a broad set of services for individuals dealing with mental health issues or substance use concerns. Care options include inpatient psychiatric treatment, outpatient therapy, and urgent assistance via the comprehensive psychiatric emergency program (CPEP). The center also provides 24/7 crisis support, serving as a reliable resource for both immediate stabilization and ongoing recovery.
Their care model uses a combination of one-on-one therapy, group sessions, and medication management to support healing. The assertive community treatment (ACT) program extends services to clients through a mobile team, helping them stay connected to treatment. People are supported by a multidisciplinary team, including psychiatrists, social workers, addiction counselors, and peer specialists, who coordinate efforts to improve stability and promote wellness in the community.
Beyond mental health services, Jacobi offers specialized programs such as smoking cessation, HIV prevention, and treatment for chemical dependency. Through outpatient Harm Reduction/Recovery Program services, patients receive support to address addiction alongside co-occurring conditions. These initiatives focus on reducing harm, encouraging healthier decisions, and equipping individuals with the skills needed for a better quality of life.
