The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA) is a renowned brand that has been a pioneer in community-based alternatives to incarceration for over 40 years. CCA is committed to promoting reintegrative justice and reducing reliance on incarceration through its innovative solutions and programs. With direct services provided to communities in New York City, Syracuse, and Rochester, CCA engages over 2,500 youth and adults annually, offering them a chance to avoid jail time.

CCA's comprehensive range of programs includes Court Services, Freedom Commons, Reentry and Reintegration, Treatment and Recovery, and Youth Services. Additionally, CCA focuses on advocacy and organizing to fight against mass incarceration and criminalization. By advocating for investments in housing, education, economic access, and community-based services, CCA aims to create safer and thriving communities.

In a significant development, CCA now offers onsite opioid treatment services, including methadone, at its fully accessible Wellness Center in Downtown Brooklyn. The center provides life-saving services to individuals battling substance use disorders. With liquid methadone dispensing available throughout the week, CCA's Wellness Center aims to help individuals achieve and sustain recovery.
