Preventing homelessness, incarceration and relapse is as important as responding to it. BRC's outpatient and case management programs focus on that. For those dealing with addictions, BRC offers the Fred Cooper Substance Abuse Service Center (licensed by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services). For the seriously and persistently mentally-ill, there is the Continuing Day Treatment Program (licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health). Both offer individuals committed to maintaining their sobriety, their mental health - and very often both - a safe space to go every weekday - and most evenings. Here, they gain insight into their illness, participate in skill development activities, and develop social support networks. The Blended Case Management program offers one-to-one service coordination to seriously and persistently mentally-ill individuals for whom service participation has proved challenging.
