Recovery from addiction is a journey that lasts a lifetime. At Samaritan Daytop Village, our Recovery Services Division provides a comprehensive support network for New Yorkers committed to living a life free from drugs and alcohol. We also work closely with family, friends, and community members who are often the pillars of support for individuals in recovery.
At the heart of our recovery services is PARC (Peer Alliance Recovery Center), a community-based center offering a range of resources, activities, and peer support for individuals and their families. PARC is a place where people can grow, learn, and stay connected during their journey to recovery.
PARC hours are Monday – Friday, 10am – 6pm., and 10am – 2pm on every second Saturday.
PARC Bronx hours are Monday – Friday, 10am – 6pm, and 10am – 2pm on every second Saturday.
PARC is funded by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports. PARC Bronx is the recipient of SAMHSA Grant #H79T1081708.
Clients, alumni, and their families can benefit from a community-based support network during and after treatment. Two independent, peer-led associations are wholly committed to members’ successful recovery. A Director from our Recovery Services team serves as a liaison between the two groups, preserving members’ connection to Samaritan Daytop Village and its services.
We integrate Risk Reduction strategies and training to help protect individuals from the risks of substance use, accidental overdose, and infection. Through outreach and Narcan training, we extend our services to communities throughout New York City.
PARC offers several peer professional training courses for individuals interested in building non-clinical careers as a peer services professional in recovery services. For a fee, individuals can register for PARC’s training courses to become a certified Peer Recovery Professional or Recovery Coach, or fulfill CARC and CRPA credit hours to maintain certification.
**Courses include the Recovery Coach Academy and Ethics for Peer Recovery Professionals. Paid internships at PARC are also available.
We also offer the public free Narcan training sessions, funded by the New York City Council. The training shows individuals how to administer Narcan to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives.

Citywide Addiction Support Network (CASN) is a collaborative network of two dozen health and human services providers delivering prevention, treatment, and recovery services to New Yorkers struggling with or at risk of opioid and stimulant use disorder. Peer Professionals conduct outreach, engage with individuals contemplating treatment, connect participants to community-based recovery supports, and provide Risk Reduction training and education.
Serving the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, CASN targets populations that have historically encountered disparities and/or discrimination when accessing health and human services, especially African American, Hispanic, justice-involved, low-income, and/or undomiciled individuals. The network is funded by the NYS OASAS State Opioid Response grant.
Narcan is a life-saving medication that reverses the effects of a heroin or opioid overdose.
Narcan is available without a medical prescription at participating pharmacies throughout the state of New York. You can also receive it for free at many community-based organizations like Samaritan Daytop Village.
We have outreach teams who provide on-the-spot Narcan training and distribute free Narcan kits, which contain two doses of Narcan and other risk prevention materials like fentanyl test strips and wound care.
The public can also access free Narcan kits and learn how to administer Narcan through one of our PARC (Peer Alliance Recovery Centers) in Queens or the Bronx. PARC has free Narcan vending machines at each of its locations and also provides scheduled in-house and virtual Narcan training sessions.
To learn more, contact PARC at (929) 244-1500 (Bronx) or (929) 244-1445 (Queens) or email [email protected].
