The clinic is easily accessible by bus lines 60 and P, with on-site parking available.
CAYA Clinic offers individual and
group therapy, moderation management, and access to harm reduction supplies. Their therapeutic approaches include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), prolonged exposure (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic approaches to trauma. Additionally, CAYA offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical, targeting conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and substance use disorders.
CAYA, short for "Come As You Are," emphasizes a non-judgmental, client-centered approach that prioritizes individual autonomy. They welcome all individuals, regardless of health insurance status, and emphasize serving historically marginalized communities through a sliding fee scale. CAYA’s mission focuses on reducing drug-related harms, preventing overdose, and empowering clients through evidence-based harm reduction therapy techniques.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like CAYA Clinic provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
