About Traumatic Brain Injury Community Support Services:

TBI-CSS is not your traditional rehabilitation program. At TBI-CSS, rehabilitation services are provided through an array of life-long community-based programs and supports tailored to meet the needs and interests of individuals with acquired brain injuries long after they have been discharged from traditional rehabilitation settings. TBI-CSS is an excellent service option post-discharge from a traditional rehabilitation setting or as a complement to those services.

For more information on Traumatic Brain Injury, please refer to our FAQ page on TBI.

What is the AHRC TBI Structured Day Program like?

The Program is a community-based rehabilitation service designed specifically for individuals with TBI. The basic goals of the service are to enhance functional independent living skills, socialization opportunities, community inclusion, and to maintain and enhance gains made in short-term traditional rehabilitation. Rehabilitation goals are worked on in structured therapy groups at the Resource Center as well as in supervised community settings.

What are Sobriety Services?

AHRC's TBI-specific Sobriety Service (an OASAS certified clinic) is aimed at promoting and maintaining a life style free from drug and alcohol abuse. Treatment emphasizes a multi-faceted approach built around the use of an adapted 12-step recovery model adapted for individuals with TBI, and includes psycho-educational groups, facilitation of coping mechanisms and skill-building techniques, money, time and stress management training, along with more traditional alcohol/drug treatment therapy approaches.

These services are provided at AHRC's OASAS Certified clinic site in Manhattan: 83 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038

Who is eligible for TBI-CSS?
