About BGR Services CD OP DBA The PAC Program of Brooklyn
The PAC Program of Brooklyn provides outpatient addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs across four NYC locations. Since 2003, this recovery center has specialized in medication-assisted treatment and harm reduction approaches for ongoing substance abuse treatment.
The PAC Program of Brooklyn operates as a comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment center serving Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx since 2003. Founded by Dr. Kevin L. Ross, this recovery center maintains four NYC treatment locations with their newest Elmhurst methadone clinic opening in March 2025. The facility focuses on community-based care through telehealth services five days a week and traditional in-person sessions.
Their outpatient program and intensive outpatient (IOP) services center around medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combined with psychiatric counseling. The rehab offers specialized care for opioid use disorder, co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma/PTSD. Under Medical Director Dr. Guy Pean's oversight, the program integrates harm reduction principles with cognitive behavioral therapy and both group and individual counseling sessions.
The treatment approach combines MAT with comprehensive behavioral health services, emphasizing practical recovery tools over traditional abstinence-only models. CEO Oana Radu leads a team that prioritizes accessible care through sliding scale payment options and accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay arrangements. Their harm reduction philosophy creates flexible treatment plans that meet clients where they are in their recovery journey.
This recovery center serves adolescents, young adults, men, women, and court-ordered clients throughout New York City. The PAC Program stands out for its multi-location accessibility, established MAT expertise, and commitment to reducing barriers to ongoing addiction treatment. Their aftercare focus through telehealth options supports sustained recovery beyond initial treatment phases.
Outpatient Programs and Intensive Treatment Options
The PAC Program delivers flexible outpatient addiction treatment designed for individuals maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities while pursuing recovery. Their standard outpatient program allows clients to attend scheduled sessions while living at home, making it ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment or seeking initial substance abuse treatment without residential placement.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides more structured support through increased session frequency and group therapy participation. This level of care serves clients needing additional accountability and peer support while maintaining their community connections. Both programs incorporate individual counseling, group therapy sessions, and access to psychiatric services as part of comprehensive treatment planning.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and Harm Reduction Approach
Under Dr. Guy Pean's medical direction, The PAC Program operates a specialized MAT program combining FDA-approved medications with behavioral counseling. This approach particularly benefits individuals with opioid use disorder, providing medical stabilization alongside therapeutic intervention. The newly opened Elmhurst methadone clinic expands access to this critical service across Queens.
Their harm reduction philosophy recognizes that recovery occurs along a continuum rather than through immediate abstinence. This approach reduces judgment while encouraging positive changes, making treatment more accessible for individuals who might otherwise avoid traditional rehab programs. The integration of psychiatric counseling addresses co-occurring mental health conditions that often complicate addiction recovery.
Multi-Location Access and Telehealth Services
The PAC Program's four NYC locations eliminate transportation barriers that frequently prevent consistent treatment participation. Clients can access services in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, or Queens based on their geographic needs and schedule requirements. This network approach ensures continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
Telehealth services five days weekly extend the recovery community beyond physical locations, particularly valuable for ongoing aftercare and alumni program participation. Remote access supports clients who relocate, face transportation challenges, or prefer digital engagement while maintaining connection to their treatment team and peer support networks.
Payment Options and Accessibility Commitment
The PAC Program accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay arrangements with sliding scale options based on financial circumstances. This comprehensive payment approach removes economic barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing quality addiction treatment. Their billing team works directly with clients to determine affordable payment structures.
The sliding scale pricing reflects their commitment to serving diverse NYC communities regardless of economic status. Combined with Medicaid acceptance, this policy ensures that financial constraints don't prevent access to medication-assisted treatment, intensive outpatient services, or ongoing recovery support throughout the five boroughs.
