Columbia Day Program
The Columbia Day Program is a unique, intensive outpatient clinic in Midtown Manhattan for individuals experiencing significant difficulties with school or work due to mental illness or addiction. Our patients benefit from our enhanced support to make a positive return to daily life and their educational or professional pursuits.
We provide scheduling flexibility for those who want to maintain involvement in school, work, or other activities. We collaborate with Columbia’s Lieber Recovery Clinic to help patients with executive functioning issues such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving. We work closely with parents, siblings, and partners.
