Join us on Thursday, June 4, as we celebrate the opening of the Kate Rothko Center for Recovery — a landmark step forward in accessible, dignified care for adults navigating recovery from opioid use disorder in New York City. This event will bring together community leaders, healthcare professionals, partners, donors, and advocates to mark the opening of a 60-bed residential facility designed to serve adult men engaged in Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT). Together, we will honor the vision behind this program and the people it exists to serve.
About the Kate Rothko Center for Recovery
Located on Wards Island and operated by Odyssey House, the Kate Rothko Center for Recovery (KRCR) offers a structured, clinically rich residential environment for adult men in early recovery who are receiving MAT — including methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone.
The KRCR provides each resident with an individualized plan of care that includes:
- Individual therapy and mental health counseling
- Trauma-informed and grief counseling
- Medication management and MAT support
- Complex care management
- Recovery support services
- Activities of daily living skill development
- Vocational and educational counseling
- Recreational and Expressive Arts services
Residents also have direct access to expanded medical, dental, and recreational services at the adjacent George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery.
A Program Built for Innovation
The KRCR is committed to developing new models of care in three key areas:
- A clinical pathway for residents who choose, under physician guidance, to discontinue MAT
- A recovery coaching model tailored specifically to men receiving MAT in early recovery
- A vocational program addressing the employment and educational challenges unique to this population
