About Institute For Community Living

In suburban Brooklyn, New York, the Institute for Community Living (ICL) offers housing services and mental healthcare at Lawton Street Residence. Brooklyn is one of the most diverse communities in the country. ICL has been there to provide culturally sensitive care, including treatment for substance use disorders, for the last 30 years.

Whole Person Centered AddictionTreatment

Providers here use Personalized Recovery Oriented Services. This program combines addiction counseling with help building life skills. Treatment takes place in a residential community where everyone is working through some of the same challenges.

Mental Health Services for a Diverse Community

One thing that impresses me is that they come prepared to meet the needs of so many different types of clients. It’s not just that they offer services in other languages, including Spanish, but they also help clients of all ages, from young children to older adults.

Not every program can help with substance and mental health issues like anxiety and depression in the same place. They can here, which makes getting help easier if you have both issues.

Housing Services for Youths, Young Adults and Vets

Youth and young adults are another group who can get support through housing and mental healthcare. This includes individuals aging out of the foster care system who need a stable place to live. Services include addiction treatment and preparing to live independently.

I love that they have mental healthcare designed just for veterans. Many veterans find themselves in homeless shelters needing not only housing, but help for addiction and mental health issues like PTSD.

This is a first stop where veterans can make the transition from living in a shelter to permanent housing. Combined with counseling and other health services, they give vets a sense of dignity and hope for the future.

Institute for Community Living’s Lawton Street Residence provides holistic care for individuals who need multiple services. I’m glad they provide a clean and safe place to live while figuring out how to live a sober life.
