About Concern for Independent Living
Though Concern for Independent Living was founded to improve the lives of those with mental disabilities, they’ve since expanded their scope to include substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.
This Medford, New York, location also specializes in housing services for such individuals and their families, including homeless persons. Their programs are designed to support you through ongoing support in your daily functioning.
Homes for Heroes
This center also assists veterans facing behavioral health and addiction concerns in finding stable, long term housing to aid in their recovery. In fact, the veterans can receive prioritized help, something I deeply appreciate, given how difficult it can be for veterans to find meaningful support. All medical and therapeutic assistance delivered is tailored to the veteran's experiences as well.
Low Income Not A Problem
This organization has also broadened its scope to include low income individuals in need of assistance, which I think that’s a beautiful thing. All too often, the cost of services is what keeps people who desperately need help from getting it.
Staff have numerous ways to accommodate those who aren’t able to cover the costs of care and will use them to ensure those who need assistance the most can still access it despite barriers.
