Counseling and support in the community.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
Practical skills for daily living, work, school and relationships.
Family Support and Training (FST)
Helping family members support your recovery.
Empowerment Services – Peer Support
Support from someone with lived experience.
Who Is Eligible?
CORE is for adults 21 and older enrolled in a HARP, HIV-SNP or MAP plan who meet New York’s behavioral health high-risk criteria. A licensed practitioner recommends CORE services. You can also ask your plan or NY Medicaid Choice (1-800-505-5678). Not sure if you have a HARP? Call us and we’ll help you check.
