Counseling Service of the Eastern District of New York (CSEDNY) is a New York State licensed outpatient program focused on substance abuse treatment. Established in 1974 as a nonprofit entity, it emphasizes personalized treatment paths designed to support sobriety and stability while maintaining confidentiality and respect for clients. The organization collaborates with communities, families, and public institutions to address substance misuse as a contributing factor to criminal activity, unemployment, poverty, and health issues. CSEDNY has a historical role in the criminal justice system, originating as the nation’s first federally funded alternative to incarceration drug treatment program and continues to work with judges, lawyers, parole officials, and probation departments. Its services are provided to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those involved with sentencing or returning to the community after incarceration, with the aim of reducing recidivism and supporting successful reintegration. Based in the United States, the nonprofit operates within the mental health care sector and partners with public and judicial entities to promote pathways to recovery.
