Our Services
Programs That Meet You Where You Are
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our programs are built to support adolescents, young adults and families through every step of their journey—from intensive residential care to flexible outpatient services and long-term educational support.
Insurance Accepted. No One Turned Away Due to Inability to Pay.
Residential Programs
Our residential treatment center in Fallsburg, NY, offers 24/7 structure and support for adolescents and young adults ready to make lasting changes. Residents build responsibility, self-discipline and coping skills through counseling, peer accountability, and community living.
Outpatient Programs
Located in Brooklyn, NY, our outpatient services offer flexibility and clinical support for individuals balancing treatment with school, work or family life. Clients receive counseling and continued guidance within a supportive recovery community.
Fresh Start
DYC’s partnership with ReStart Academy, District 79, provides a comprehensive and individualized DOE high school and high school equivalency (GED) curriculum, based on where the student is at in their educational journey. Small classroom size allows for attentive learning in a more structured supportive classroom environment.
Family Support
Educational & Vocational Programs
Every program member, in every phase of treatment, will receive vocational/educational counseling services for guidance with career exploration, college admission and financial aid assistance, trade school enrollment referrals, resume development, interviewing and job-seeking skill building, opportunities to “give back” through meaningful community-based volunteer experiences, and SO much more!
Advocacy Creates Alternatives
DYC does extensive work in court advocacy, helping many young people access meaningful alternatives to incarceration. Our team works closely with the courts, attorneys, probation departments, and families to ensure that each individual is seen not simply for their offense, but for their potential for growth and recovery. By advocating for treatment, structure, and community-based support, we help create pathways that allow young people to rebuild their lives.

Testimonials
Healing happens here.
“To my son,
You walked through fire
With burning desire
Made peace with your past
And friendships that will last
Now you are free
There’s a whole world to see
For every lock – You hold the key
Your head is clear
You have nothing to fear
Don’t worry, I’ll always be near
Love Always, Mom”
“Before walking through the doors of DYC, I was a lost soul. A shell of a human being with no sense of purpose in life. I was drained of all hope. Months later, I can confidently say I’ve never been happier. My heart is filled with love and my thoughts have never been sharper. DYC brought me back to life. I’ll forever be grateful for this beautiful organization.”
“Growing up, I had so many dreams and so much potential for the future. Just as I thought I was going to lose all that, I came into DYC and now I have the opportunity to achieve all these goals and to put all that potential to use.”
“After many years of pain and suffering, I was fed up. I lost everything and everyone I loved. I knew a change needed to happen, but I didn’t know where to start. Unfortunately, my friend passed away from an overdose and a family friend recommended me and another one of my friends to Dynamite during the funeral. We immediately jumped on the opportunity and thankfully years later I’m still here: alive, healthy and sober. I can’t explain how happy I am and thankful for Dynamite.”
“Prior to Dynamite, I was broken. I had zero direction and my life had lost meaning. I was in an endless cycle of misery. Dynamite lent me a helping hand and I have never looked back. My gratitude to them is immense.”
“DYC has given me a new life and a better relationship with myself, my friends and family. I felt like a lost cause most of my life, hopeless and damaged. I never could have imagined the staff could have given me so much love and care. I was brought back to the person I lost, the joy I had for the world returned, as well as hopes and dreams for the future.”
