Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced the opening of the new "Staying Healthy" youth clubhouse on Staten Island to help young people who have been affected by addiction. The Clubhouse will provide a place for young people in recovery or at risk of addiction to develop social skills that promote long-term health, wellness and a drug-free lifestyle. The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services is contributing more than $240,000 to support the operation of this facility.
"As communities across New York State struggle with addiction, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding and enhancing services so that all New Yorkers impacted by this disease have the resources they need to live healthy, drug-free lives," Governor Cuomo said. "With the opening of this new youth clubhouse, we are providing the Staten Island community another critical tool to help combat this crisis and pave the way forward for New Yorkers on the road to recovery."
