STARS is committed to providing treatment of alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana addiction to communities in the Metropolitan New York area. Treatment is confidential and costs nothing.

STARS is currently recruiting for several treatment studies for individuals with alcohol and drug problems.

All studies use established medications in conjunction with regular, individual meetings with a physician or a therapist.

Anyone who uses alcohol, heroin, cocaine and/or marijuana and wants treatment will be considered for these research studies.
