Building healthy lives takes vision. President Emeritus and Co-Founder Kathleen Riddle made hers a reality with a $60K grant. At the site of a former candy store in Glendale, Queens, she opened the doors to an assessment and referral center called Outreach Project.The mission back then had one objective: To encourage local community residents to seek treatment for substance abuse. Since then, our mission has evolved to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Today Outreach inspires adolescents, adults and their families to achieve a life of unlimited potential through our high-quality, evidence-based substance abuse treatment and CASAC training programs.

Fees and Payment

The cost of treatment at Outreach varies depending on the modality of care (residential, outpatient) provided. Outreach accepts Medicaid and most insurance companies, and works with many unions and EAPs, to best allow for accessible services to those in need in our communities. Our flexibility for insurance reimbursement assures that we can make our services available to the widest population in the communities we serve. For the uninsured, fees are assessed on a sliding scale based on income and family size.

We're also a nonprofit agency. Check our ABOUT US page for more information.
