The Employee Assistance Program

Substance Use Disorders

The City of New York is committed to the well-being of its employees and their families. Alcohol and substances misuse can have a significant impact on work and family.  It can lead to the loss of wages, health issues, and personal and family problems irrespective of age, race and ethnicity or income level.

If you or a family member is misusing substances, the NYC EAP can help. We offer free and confidential assistance.  We provide free and confidential assistance, and if treatment is required, we can help with a referral to a provider that is covered by your health benefits.  The NYC EAP can be reached at (212) 306-7660 or e-mail eap@olr.nyc.gov
